I rebooted my computer this afternoon, and it reboots enough to show my
online connection, but nothing else on my boot screen. When I click on any
program or shortcut I get
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You many not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
The only way I can access my browser is by going to the control panel and
clicking on windows update.
I noticed in one of my attempts to get everything to boot, that the date
was saying 4/4/2010, but I went in boot with c prompt (or whatever it's
called) and did manage to change the date to the 1/1/2010, but that didn't
fix the problem at all.
I cannot access system restore, I get the message above. I look at the
control panel, but cannot click on anything without the above error message.
I can access my files and documents, and look at the thumbnails, but I
cannot actually open any of the files.
Is there any way this can be corrected without having to call in a pro? Is
there something I can type into the DOS commands on the recovery panel or
something.
The computer is about 5 years old, and it's running windows XP with sevice
pack 2.
