Ok--all kidding aside--do a full system restore with the disc that came with your computer. If you have a cd burner save all your files, pics, downloads ect.---anything you can't re-install to disc. Then run the restore, after your system is back to where it was when you got your PC, then re-install your programs, the net and the files you saved to disc. I have had to do this before--it is no fun. Hope you are not busy for the next few hours--this takes time depending how many programs and files you have. BEFORE you do this ask Michelle if any of the techs at RR have a easier way to go. But it looks like you have deleted more than you know, what you have described deleting takes a lot of other stuff you need with it. Sorry Pal:) Big Hugz (you will need them) Tommy
