Written by Question by ramsfan81: How to fix computer that won’t open programs besides Internet?
I am unable to open any of the programs on my computer, except for the internet explorer. I am unable to perform a system restore because it just comes up as an error of some sort. Can I put the computer into safe mode and then perform a systems restore to fix it, or do I need to do something else? Also anytime I click on a link in Google it doesn’t actually bring me to that site. How do I fix these problems. Thanks.

I will sigest that you repair Windows but not by using the repair normal procedure from the Installation disk. Here is how you can repair Windows without reinstalling and loosing everything. Put the Windows installation disk into the drive. Restart the computer and go to boot from CD. Once in there chose to install new version of windows instead of run a repair. press F8 to agree with the terms and conditions and the second screen will ask you if you want to install new copy of WINDOWS or you want to REPAIR an existing installation of WINDOWS chose to repair existing windows then press R on your keyboard and voila! providing you have your Windows product key you will see everything exactly the same as when you are installing new copy of Windows but all your programs and data is there. You might have to activate windows again . Hope this helps.
