    Hi,

    I'm not familiar with that app. but it's a fair bet it has removed some registry entries and possibly some shortcuts , too.

    Check and see if it has a restore type option somewhere - it may have made backups which can be restored.

    Otherwise, try a system restore to a point before the problems started.

    You might check to see if it makes it's own backups - they usually do, like this one I use

    Otherwise, I would suggest a Repair install, but you need the proper M$ install dvd for that.

    A System File Check and repair is worth running, d/l this app. :

    Hi,

    If you have the proper M$ installation dvd, you can do this

    Hi fastboy,

    You're welcome - glad it's all working for you.

    If you want to use an all in one utility, you might try this - it makes backups, although it works well for me and I have never had a problem with it. Also includes a good undelete function.

    It's free from here :

    Glary Utilities

    If you want the no toolbar version (the one I use ) click on Other Builds and d/l from there.
