Posted August 27, 200717 yr I had the same problem. I have a workaround if System Restore fails to correct this. For me, It even occured in Safe Mode. 1. Make your way to starting Internet Explorer 2. on the address bar type:"control panel" 3. go to User Accounts...-> Add User account-> Create New "Admininstrator" Account. 4. Shut down manually if you have to and reboot and access the new Admin account You will now have new account with all original programs still installed and access to old files via either: a. Internet exporer-> Address bar-> type: C:\users\ your old user account name b Start button-> computer-> C:\Users\ you old user account name. * You'll find here folders which will contain you old docs, downloads, etc from you old account.
