Thanks for your reply. A couple of things. This morning when I booted up, I found the little search tool functioning. However it booted to a weired fuzzy mode so I rebooted. When I shut down there were four programs that were trying to shut down and asked if I wanted to end now and if I did I would lose data. These are four programs that are unfamiliar to me. I wanted to go to task manager and see what programs were running but my task manager is messed up. When I press control alt delete, normally a window would open that gives you a few options: lock the computer, task manager, shut down etc. I received not such options. I immediately got the task manager but the various options are missing such as programs running applications running, cpu usage etc...

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Keith

I ran sfc /scannow but it asked for a disc that I don't have. My search bar is working and I did receive some advice on how to restore my task manager to the view I had previously. What I don't know how to do is get my Windows Security Window back.

Normally when you press control, alt, delete, you get a window that says windows security and it gives you the following tabs: Lock Computer, logg off, shutdown, change password, task manager and cancel. I don't have that anymore.

Any advice.

Thanks,

Keith

I really appreciate all of your help getting my computer cleaned up. I didn't mean to suck you into something that isn't your area.

One more question though. I do have the disc you are referring to. Do I put it in at the prompt? And will it give me directions on what to do from there.

Thanks,

Keith
