Try pressing F8 during boot, and when you get to the startup choices menu, choose Safe Mode. Go through the boot, and shut the box down. Start it back up and see if it doesn't boot fine. If it does, go to the Microsoft Windows Update site and get all the latest patches.
The OS works fine, just can't do a reset on the start menu, or defrag the C disc.
I have tried the Mozilla stuff, but, since My big interest is in photography, nothing else works better than MS.
I reckon I am up to wiping the damn thing clean, and start from scratch.
It could easily be due to a bigtime case of dumbaxx on My part, I reckon it may be a gentic shortfall.
Thanks, All!
