Hello, i am having some issues here, hope someone may be able to help..

i recently uninstalled a video editing program, when i did i lost most of my
desktop items. i then tried to do a system restore from a backup point.
everything came back, except more than half of my folders are now empty.
some contained programs, videos, and various applications. i have done a
system search for the missing files, and some i have found now relocated to
the depths of beyond my know how, some others seeming to be in peices.

the only other change i made was deleting a tool i downloaded for a support
form(ironically from the manufacturer of the video software) called
"getsysinfo" used to find specific info on my puter.

it seems to me this might be a registry problem. is there anything i can do
to restore my system to where it was before without doing it manually?

Thank you for any ideas, Nick

To restore the xp registry,one must boot to xp cd,recovery,then type in the
info as described in kb307545...If youre not sure of the problem(s),try
running:Sfc /Scannow Run from cmd prompt..
