I have tried to fix this problem and caused more stress than I thought was possible. My system restore has a blank screen when I press system restore. I have tried to put in dll.'s and that kind of stuff and the computer says that it is missing a module.
Also, as if the system restore wasnt a big enough of a problem my search does not work. The computer says that it cannot find the search companion and I may need to run setup. I dont know what setup its talking about.
The disk defragmenter when started says "Cannot open C:\WINDOWS\system32\dfrg.msc.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC consule, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file."

How can I fix these problems? Im desperate for some kind of help.
