You can try a system restore. Click on Start>All programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.

It will pop up a window, click on next and then choose a date that was before all this started happening the calendar. (The darker days are days you can choose) Then click on next through the next windows. All they tell you is what system restore will do.

See if that works.

Haha, no problem Holly.

Have a good one.

Joey,

You are a GENIOUS!  Thank you so much, I have struggled with this for days.

Holly

Any ideas what to do when my favorites list is gone, and I can't add any favorites? I have a file saved off with them..  but can't seem to get the funtionality to work in general. If I try a system restore-how will impact docs that were created after that date, etc.?

Thanks in advance for the help!
