Have you gone the sfc /scannow route yet? ...to put stuff back in order...
Done a good maintenance check and repair?

Fire up your computer...
Go to start > run > type in "cmd" in the open field [no quotes]...
Hit enter...and the DOS window appears...
Type in, at the flashing cursor sfc_/scannow [_ is a space] ...
Put your original set up disk in the install drive...
Hit enter...
This will take a while, so go get a coffee...and doughnut
You will find sfc in the system32 folder...the typed command goes there, finds it, and activates the process...
Its purpose is to return all the originally installed files to their rightful place and order, just in case something has gone awry since last done.
I run this prog weekly, whether I need to or not.
Also run the defrag and chkdsk. Chkdsk will run off a boot up...and will take considerable time to do...maybe hours, depending upon the state of your hard drive.
So, save this one until you are set to end for the day. Shut down the computer and then reboot...let it do its thing from there...and go to bed. By morning all will have been done.
Rerun the progs you said you ran before to just be sure, all bases have been covered.
Pray

Are you running any firewall software aside from Windows default?
