Yeah, I'm running XP, but my wife has photos that she hasn't been able to save to disc, or I would have done a complete restore. A system restore did not work, so I will try the repair as Peerless suggested.
I do know better than to mess with the resistry, but that was the only way to get my providers security suite to work. I'm highly upset with them over it, and they are the cable modem providers in my area.
