I have used the System Restore function, and found that restore points are automatically created a couple of times a month.
I also have an external hard drive whereby I copy my system about every month.
Neither of these was any use in correcting the recent fault.

Might be worth running checkdisk to scan for any hard drive errors.
Check your hard disk for errors - this is instructions for Vista, but same procedure for Win7
I would tick the option "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors", but this can take quite a long time to complete.
just a thought, why not create a "spare" admin user that you never use with the password written in a sealed envelope somewhere. If that one is also screwed over you know for sure somethings been playing with the internals of Windows and at that point I'd be saying a full on splat and re-install would be a sensible option in case there is malware/rootkit on your machine

I am off to a good start reinstalling/upgrading my HTPC... due to laziness I bought the latest edition of linux format because it has 13.10 Ubuntu with the latest updates streamlined. I had a quick look at mageia 4, of which I didn't like much(don't like KDE all that much) and so I have been trying to install ubuntu 13.10 from the same disc... Keyboard/Mouse is not working. Further inspection looks like the desktop is crashing completely.I Had a look on the Linux Format forums and seems somebody else has the same program. So the disc is a bad print perhaps? Furthermore I tried Fedora and after installing the computer hangs at DMI Pooling.... Annoying. Died a death? might as well've for all that crap I been through the last 2 days installing linux distros
