Hello Kara,

Consider first checking whether_ a problem may have occurred because of the presence 
of a virus or malware.  

If you don't have antivirus and anti-malware applications, consider installing and 
updating the following and then running them in Safe mode.  The antivirus scan should 
be set to scan all-files.  Do not install more than one antivirus application to 
the system_ because where there is more than one, they are likely to conflict with 
each other.  You can however install more than one anti-malware application.

AVG antivirus 7.5 Free:

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4

Lavasoft Ad-Aware 1.06

Lavasoft Reghance 2.12 (installation needed by Ad-Aware for scanning the Registry).

Also consider running_ the 'Cleaner' tab of Ccleaner:

If that does not resolve the problem, try runnng "ScanDisk" and "System File Checker" 
("SFC") in Safe mode.  

To run SFC go: Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Information/Tools/System 
File Checker (or use "Find" to do a search of your system for "sfc.exe" and double-click 
on it to open). 

Then in SFC before doing any scan first go: 
Settings.../ and 
CHeck the item: "Check for changed files" 
and also CHeck the item: "Check for deleted files"/ click on "OK". 
Then click on "Start" to start the scan. 
SFC may be able to restore deleted or corrupted files from (where "x" represents 
your drive letter) x:\Windows\Options\Cabs, or from your systems disk, (or from a 
floppy disk where you make a note of the file and later find it on a friends Win98 
computer or locate it on the Internet (virus-check the file) and then and re-run 
the SFC scan) to restore the file. 

I hope that helps.

Regards.
