Help please....

[99thompson]

After a simple internet connection problem which managed to fix itself, i have lost most of Windows' basic utilities.

Windows media player will not open...
My Macfee firewall has corrupted...
System restore opens but is blank white...
My internet explorer link has disappeared (only way of accessing it now is clicking read emails in MSN Messenger)...
Hotmail.com doesnt work so cannot read emails...
I cant even click the smileys as im writing this post >>> ....
Etc etc....all basic stuff.

All websites work though, net connection is fine and MSN works, all other non-windows programs work too, just windows related seems to not work at all and basic functions like clicking certain things on a web-page and opening basic windows programs, they just wont open.

Any help please.....thanks in advance.

I feel for you mate, thats gotta be annoying. I don't really know hat is wrong but if i was you i would just back up whatever you need and then just reinstall your OS.
But wait for other people to reply yet, they might have better ideas.

you could run hijackthis and post the log google it, but you say that (Macfee firewall has corrupted...) so i would uninstall it and then see how things work.

hijackthis and Stinger...run those....

if they come up clean try uninstalling and re-installing WMP and IE using Add/Remove Windows Components.....could just need a re-install
