After the problem ocured i did a restore to an earlier date but it still didn't fix the problem. I'm really not that computer litterate so any step by step info would be greatly appreciated

Select Start, Run, then type scanreg and press Enter. If you're told that there are no errors, click Yes to back up the Registry, then OK. To restore the Registry, select Start, Shut Down, click Restart in MS-DOS mode, and click OK. At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt, type scanreg /restore (don't forget to put a space before the slash) and press Enter. Select a backup from the list and press Enter again.

I did that earlier but the restore point only goes back to early this morning (2/24/04) is there a way to back it up even further to resolve this problem?

Are you experiencing any other problems? If its just My Computer shortcut that can be fixed using regedit.

I'm also getting limited use of my Start button... after i did the restore it worked for awhile then went out again....will regedit fix this problem as well?
