Hi - I'm running Windows 7 Home on a pretty new VAIO laptop (1 month old), just ran a disk scan & defrag on my machine (as recommended by the manuf. prompt) and since I restarted, the program's shortcuts don't work in the quickstart menu, and I can't start the pograms from the start menu. However, when I go to Windows Explorers (opens by the Windows + E shortcut only) and open a file which was associated with that program, the program does open, so they're still there and working. I also tried chaging the target on the shortcut menu but they are pointing to the right target.

I recommand to you to restore your system states with the use of a restoration point that was made before the appearance of the problem. This link will help you to do it: http://www.faultwire.com/solutions/using_system_restore_vista.php Look to section "System Restore from a running Windows 7, Vista or 2008" Best regards.

Hi Thanks for the response. I have located the rstrui file, however can not open it. Im getting a message which reads "C\Windows\system32\rstrui.exe No such interface supported" When I locate it in Windows explorer, and double click to execute it, it does nothing. When I right click on it, it does not give me the option to open it? Thanks
