Re: Major Problem

Hello illskillz,

You might see if doing a System Restore at boot using a restore point dated before you had this problem may be able to fix it for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Major Problem

Sounds like you may need to do a Custom install to reisntall Vista. This way all of your current files in your current installation will be place in a "C:\Windows.old" folder so you can copy the one you want back after reinstalling.
