One of my friends who's a worrywart had me do a virus scan. Norton said I'm clean. So then I tried a registry scan. Here's where a lot of the problems seem to lay. I used both "Registry Fix" and "Free Registry Fix", and have determined that I have close to 1000 problems with my registry, a large number of them being invalid shortcuts. Which leads into my quandry...
Is there a way that I can repair these problems short of a reformat or shelling out 40 dollars to purchase their software? A reformat is my absolutely last option because doing so would mean a laborious weekend of backing up more than 100GB of stuff to what few DVDs I have, and I don't have a credit card, nor would I pay forty dollars for that software that I may be able to fix for free. Thank you very much for your support!
