Now what...

[SteamWake]

My wife was playing some game when some warning message came up and evidently it shut itself down. I wasent here so I dont know wtf happened.

All I know is that the toolbar was all foobar and most apps will not launch.

No problem I'll run a system restore.

"System restore is unable to protect your computer"

Sonofa...

Okay Ill start in safe mode !

Get to safe mode prompt.... system reboots gets to safe mode prompt... system reboots... you get the idea.

Ive done some searching on the system restore issue and found advice on how to 'correct' the issue including checking registry keys and everything looks in order. Yes I had it turned on.

This has got to be some flippin virus that slipped by mcaffee ... of course now I cant start any system accessories, let alone mcaffee.

Running a chkdsk from the command prompt now.

I'm stumped... oh yea nfi where the winders disk is.
