| Programs stop working I have a Windows Vista 32 (Ultimate) machine, and when starting it up this morning, all of my shortcuts (lnk) and all of my .EXE's have stopped working. The files exsist, but when I click on them directly, an error message that files are not found comes up. I try to use rstrui.exe and I get the same message. Can anyone enlighten me? - Head in Clouds -      |
