OMG wannabe1 ur my hero!!! thank you, that worked n my start bar is back and everything appears to b running right and normal. ne idea as to what exactly wen wrong in the first place tho? im just curious

Something caused a registry corruption...and a good one. It took all your restore points, too. Tough one for sure.

Go to system restore and set a fresh restore point and name it "Initial Recovery". That will be a good point to restore to if you have serious problems. Choose a more recent one if you just need to roll back the registry after a minor issue.

I'm impressed with the way you stuck with this one...well done!

[LCollins2]

thank you very much, and thank you for all your time and help to, no way i coulda done it without you.

[wannabe1]

You are most welcome, LCollins2!

I wish I had Wannabi1's

He is my hero also and I have not been here long.

I followed the thread all the way and learned so much. I also admired LCollins2 fortitude in hanging in there.
