30124 2002-01-07 09:07:00 Okay I'm stumped... I was happily mucking around on my computer (nothing unusual) and restarted, and once it was restarted it seemed everything had been reset... No Office 2000 programs will load (tells me it has to be installed first, even though its all there), IE has reset all its settings/favourites/home page etc. to Microsoft default, ICQ has decided that I'm not its user anymore, MSN starts at startup (didn't used to) ummm... start menu everything has been reset to default (all the programs stay there though)...

most programs work, just the MS ones and ICQ as far as I can tell so far...

I tried a system restore back to 6:30 last night (the last restore point) and it tells me nothing has changed... but its been going fine all day until about 20 minutes ago, so something's definitely changed since then...

and what have I done? nothing... that's why I'm stumped :)

any suggestions?

or perhaps the wrong userid?

I've almost fixed everything back to how it was, apart from reinstalling office 2000 (can't be bothered just now) I just wanna know why it happened, and whether its likely to happen again... its the first annoying thing that ME has done to me (after me sitting here putting up with everybody saying how bad ME is for so long, while thinking there's nothing wrong with it...)
