My poor laptop

Hello everyone,

my machine seems to have the same problem as VanyaHargreeves.

I rarely use Firefox, however today while I was using it, suddenly my machine jumped to automatic updates (which it never does while I am using the computer), installed a 3-step media player update, reboot, and now my machine does the same thing.

I found this thread by searching folder and I found this on my music file,
TEMP.owner-PC.000 (I added virus and searched- finding this thread).

I used system restore to no avail. Whenever I reboot, Vista indicates it is preparing my Desktop settings- then everything starts over again.
Previously it never loaded my "desktop settings" and never showed a status box in the upper left corner as it does- now this happens.

In the last reboot it indicated that my preferences were not completely refreshed and that I had a temporary log-in.

I notice a lot of .dll files I didn't previously and also system32 appears twice (I think) in a status box before the desktop loads and everything has disappeared from the previous session.

Any ideas?- I'm sure this has to have occurred previously. Is the only way to create a new log-in (with administrative capabilities)? Also, does Microsoft have a call-in (I'm sure this has occurred before).

Thanks for your patience in reading my question(s)!


Thanks,

Michael
