yesterday, i came home to find my computer shut down......"Power failure" i take as a guess, so i turn it back on.......WTF?!!?!?!?!?!??!

all my program icons are gone, my AC'97 drivers are gone......all my custom settings have been restored to default XP Pro settings............all my System Restore points have been erased which now i cant revert back to and get everything back the way it was.......but get this, all my applications and programs folders, my documents, and other items are still there and untouched??!?!?!?!?!!?

anyone got any ideas as to what happend? both router and firewall have no logs of unusual activity, and NAV shows no virus logs or events

Maybe Ashcroft....or the RIAA... or a vengeful cat with a sore sphincter...
Oh wait, I know, those uber bad guys you were hiding from.
Should have gone into the witness protection program dude! Now, fuhgettaboutit!
I'd say you have about 24 hours before Guido and Tony Two Toes the Hammer come back and feed you to the fishes
