I came home Sunday evening and turned on my computer, i then left the room to take care of a few things. When i returned to my computer, it looked like disc check had just finnished running(without my setting it to). I did manage to catch the last thing it stated just previous to logging on. It said something like 'security to default', in repetition. -Now my problems begin.

Problems, thus far: -no sound,
-network connections often fail(no connection w/Explorer, but sometimes w/Google
Chrome),
-computer takes a long time to log in,
-task bar is not displayed,
-some services do not run,
-system restore does not work,
-safe mode has no effect.

I tried system restore, but i got this message 'System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run System Restore again'. That did not work. So i Googled some answers, but to no avail. There were some, but nothing i could find as related to my first paragraph.

Yes, i sometimes p2p, but only from noted/reliable uploaders ,scanning my downloads, and i believe i haven't been on any 'bad'sites where infections may occure. Someone said to post a Hijackthis log file, but i can't download the program. It starts, but will not complete.

Mind you, i'm somewhat of a novice, so if anyone could help me, man, i'd be very grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
