Hey guys n gals,
Im a little bit confused, i came home the other day, started my laptop as usual (i only ever close the screen to put it into standby) and it skipped thro the password screen and started. That was the first thing i noticed, then was the fact there were a load of shortcuts on the desktop that ive never seen before, as if the computer was brand new again!! But it also had a lot of shortcuts that i made..BT Hub Manager, Alcohol120% etc etc, that i had put on. Also Norton Anti-virus decided to pipe up and installing itself as if i had just put the disc in for it. After i got that finished and could use the computer, i started tryin to open my programs thats on it.....none of them are working at all, i have even been into windows explorer and the files are all there but it just wont let me access anythin. I had to re-install the BT Hub so i could get on the net.
Also when looking at the % of hard drive used its the same as before it all went tits up, so the laptop aint deleted anything from it, i just think that its storing it in some other place, which it wont let me acess.
Oh yeah i also tried the recovery program that it has on it, but the earliest date i could go back to was the same day i just want my laptop back to normal, is there anyone who knows what on earth could have happened here?? If so what can i do?? Or even if there is anyone close to Sunderland wanna lend a hand by having a look, there would be a cuppa tea and biscuits :D
Cheers in advance for any replies
Chris
