Server execution failed
About an hour ago following a screen freeze after inserting a camera SD card and then doing a restart I went to Control Panel to change a setting. Clicking on any of those selections in that list would do nothing. Then I began to get error messages that Server connection failed. Four samples of these messages are attached. I did a system restore back to yesterday afternoon when all was well (as it also was an hour ago). Same problem exists with one referring to Explorer.exe.
Added after posting the above: Windows Explorer is 'dead' - it does not start after clicking its short cut. That does trigger a series of 'Server execution failed' notices. Clicking Control Panel, Computer, Games, etc. does nothing. Every other function seems to work as far as I have checked. I would uninstall Windows Exp but can't get to Add/Remove.
Suggestions for possible cause and cure will be appreciated.
