I shut down my computer before i went to work today, when i turned it on when i got back home it didn't start right up into windows, it was in safe mode and ran 'chkdsk' on all files.
When it finally started up everything was changed. My browser (opera) is acting like its the first time i've used it, speed dial is erased, bookmarks are erased, the font is in bold. Windows media player only recognizes two of my albums even though the rest of the music is still on the hard drive. When it's still loading start up programs a notification window pops up twice saying windows media sharing encountered a problem and had to close.
I tried to use system restore and got a notification window that says 'c:\\windows\system32\ATL.DLL is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.'
Also in the toolbar it says that updates are available. I installed them and restarted and it still says there are updates available; the same two.
Any ideas as to what happened? I have never experienced anything like this before. Any help would be appreciated.
