I recently downloaded CCleaner on our laptop (dell / windows XP) after reading a review of it on download.com, however - my system has been crawling ever since. I'm not super savvy and I probably overlooked something very simple which has now purged my registry (guessing). anyway - system restore now does not work so I can't restore back. my word and excel documents are no longer linked as icons (I have to right click / open with / (choose program).
Again, I'm sure its me but is there not a CCleaner reverse, restore point, or registry backup? Any ideas what I would ahve killed that now has us limping? I spent all day yesterday trying to fix this with no luck, no windows XP support (just beyond the window for support) and can only think that I'll ahve to take it in to someone.
Might reloading XP return things to normal? This is odd...I've never had a problem like this before.
