    My Windows 7 looks like an XP and some functionalities do not work


    Today I turned on my computer (Dell Latitude) and the appearance was changed from the typical Windows 7 to a Windows XP. Windows 7 was installed in my laptop as I bought 3 years ago. The appearance would not be such a big problem but now my antivirus (Sophos) and the audio device do not work anymore.

    Could someone help me out?

    Best regards,

    Start with the free, bootable disks here: Free Online AntiMalware Resources
    If infected, post over in the Security Forums.

    If clean, post back here for more tests to run.
