Clean boot disabled aero theme & Internet connection, help?!
I run a windows 7 64 bit home premium machine with a Nvidia Quadro 440 graphics card as well as a Nvidia inboard GeForce 7025 card I installed windows myself and its been working great for the last two years until a few days ago. First it wouldn't shut down properly and got stuck on the logging off screen for about two hours. Then I noticed it needed some 10 updates, which after some effort I managed to install, all apart from one non essential Nvidia update that wouldn't for the life of me update, so I just left it. Then I noticed iTunes not being responsive, it took several attempts for it to recognise my iPod and after various attempts taking some six hours I finally got my iPod updated, i have the latest version of iTunes. I decided to have a go at fixing this. Long story short, I performed a clean boot and now, after I enabled normal start up again;
1) My aero theme has been disabled and is un available for selection,
2) I have lost my Internet connection and the set up wizard isn't working,
3) I can't perform a restore,
4) The windows update service isn't running,
5) And my audio driver seem to have gone too.
6) And when I try to restart the computer, it switches from logging off to shut down no problem, but then gets stuck on shut down.
I need help please, any will be appreciated
