Where do I start! I recently bought this used comp and have been trying to learn how to use it! Thought things were going along just peachy and then after applying some tweaks to the reg, on restart it would not let me back on as Administrator(said it no longer recognized the user) and logged me on as a temp user. I tried to get back in as Admin and succeeded but now I am without the ability to see anything in the program files, winnt or add and remove programs and the three svchost's that used to be on the HJT log are now gone!
I have a backup of the reg but when I tried to migrate it back it says it can't do this function! When I search C:there are 0 kb on AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS AND THE IO.SYS. I am just a rank amatuer and even I think this might be a problem. 
The strange thing is the sytem still loads and runs all the programs I have used so far(minus regseeker and a few others off of the desktop) but the time line for load and shut down have quadrupled. I have lost personal data i.e. pics, poems etc... I can redo them. But does anyone one have the patience of Jobe and would they be willing to help me through this!
