HELP: Weird problems after crash, need advice
Hi all,
I have Windows 7 Professional x86 running on a Dell E1505 laptop.
Last night it froze up and the only way to restore was to do a hard reset. Disk scan started automatically on reboot and fixed some things.
Once booted I noticed some strange things:
- some auto-start programs pop up with errors
- wallpaper was reset to windows 7 default
- no pinned items appear on taskbar
- can't pin items to taskbar
- no items appear in start menu recently used list
- explorer / desktop font is not aliased
SFC /scannow says there are some corrupted files but is unable to fix them...
Any ideas of the best way to proceed, and still keep my programs? I have a lot of large programs which would take hours to reinstall (Altium + updates, MS Office etc)
