Re: Where'd my programs go....???

Hi, sounds like when you opted for a system repair you ended up with a
system restore - can't understand how this has happened to you, never
seen it before.

So sounds like as well your recently installed programs have been
uninstalled in the process leaving you with just the icons - you could
check the folder structure inside Program Files and you might see
empty folders for the programs you installed. Or you can check inside
Program Features and you'll see that they're not there any more. In
which case you'd have to reinstall those programs before.

Worth trying Crispy's suggestion of a system restore first, might save
you some time if works. Haven't tried restoring again to a point in
time after restoring to an even earlier point in time but might just
work. Otherwise, just a case of reinstalling those programs.
