Car: yamaha banshee (and an opel astra from work) Rep Power: 29  | system restore fixes almost all your problems Start --> Accessories --> System tools --> System restore just choose a date before the day it went wrong, you'll have to redo all setting changes you made since then (even whitin some programs), but it won't delete personal files EDIT: i see your workbar is pretty blue as well, are u sure you didn't apply a blue skin, or maybe your monitor settings are to blue

Rep Power: 0 | Maybe you did a "Disk Cleanup wizard" which options to "compress old files"? There's a setting in XP which says "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color". Either uncompress the folders, or go turn it off. Tools >> Folder Options >> View Be careful with the System Restore... |

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 237  | Well, it does affect permorance as it has to decompress those files every time you want to use them. Program Files being compressed = very bad idea.

Car: '04 Toyota Sienna, crippled people like vans.... Rep Power: 53 | Yes, it isn't a good idea to let disk cleanup compress files. I used to let it do that years ago and it caused problems for me, so I never do it now.
