ran program to see if would fix a slow down problem . upon restart i had no file associations to all programs . this is 2x time this has happen using this tweaking program. i also have no sys restore . task manager says it is open but nothing on screen .so now that i have more problems then i started with , i need to fix this somehow . any help  ?
added :  got sys restore to open but it stuck in initializing, waited 30 min . no go
 ran tweak again  got no results  , ?  something seems to ?stick, hang , stop , w/e program in being used . i can open things using; right click, run as admin.  start up programs not opening , have to do all manually. any ideas were i can start ?

Shane:
I run all my programs on a LOT of machines and never heard of this problem. Something else is differently going on! :wink:

Did you do a reg backup with the program first? Not a system restore but a reg backup with my tool. If so you can restore the registry with it.

As a test to see if it is a corrupt profile see if you can make a new user account, just for a test. Once you do log into the new user account. How does it do then?

as  i said both sys restores stop responding once it starts to initialize, also your reg backup , no response to click on it. ? i know it seems something other has gone wrong , i havent had time to explore . i ran S&D , malwares bytes ,AVg checks ,  S&d found a yantoo pagerage ?  think it was . no problem on cleaning it. ran tweak  as usual. on reboot anything i go to open has no file assoc . same as C:program files, all must be open on right click .things that need other components to run correctly , 'dont ' as no assoc between objects , IE: battlefield 3 , opens in webpage , but cant open the browser plugin, to open Origin [Gamecenter} and game itself.

Shane:
Did you do the test account yet?

Shane

Covert_Wolf:
ok  made guest account . all seems fine , altho i dont have alot to use as  programs in guest .  sooo ? that mean a user account control problem ? or some sort in between  ? added : turned off UAC , no change . things still same way
