Ummmmmmmmm.... that sounds very familiar from 1995 when Windows95 was
released.  YOUR WIDNOWS IS MESSED UP.  YOU NEED TO REINSTALL IT.
Microsoft should start providing a dialogue box when Windows messed, a
dialogue box pops-up and should say, 'PLEASE FORMAT YOUR DISK AND REINSTALL
WINDOWS BECAUSE I AM ALL MESSED UP." :-)
