I installed and ran CCleaner today, using Vista Home Premium. A while later, I was in my Documents folder and inadvertently clicked on the registry backup file, which--in Vista--automatically restores all values in the file to the registry. Here is what I have since then:
My mouse cursor jumps and quivers constantly. All of my desktop and Start Menu item icons are gone, and replaced by a picture of a computer. None of the programs will start when they are clicked on from the desktop or the Start Menu. I am obviously able to get on the Internet and get email. I did a System Restore, but it came back as incomplete. I selected another date and did another System Restore, but that came back the same way. I do not know what I need to do next to restore my registry to what it was before this occurred. Any help would be much appreciated.
