    All that looks normal to me - so well have to start from first principles....



    Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

    At the Command prompt, type
    CHKDSK C: /R
    and hit the Enter key.

    You will be told that the drive is locked,
    and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.
    The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
    After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC.

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
    At the Command prompt, type
    SFC /SCANNOW
    and hit the Enter key

    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
    Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

    Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

    I believe I have fixed the problem myself, thanks guys (not sarcasm). I just *messed* up the registry and had to restore it.

    I'll keep this up for one week in case I run into anything again.

    You posted over a month ago - are you saying that you did nothing about it for a month after posting, and then did Syatem restore?
