An odd thing happened with my PC this morning. I totally lost the ability to
display the Vista style start menu, task bar or winodws. Everything reverted
back to the classic windows style.
I have tried to change the settings in the start menu properties as well
trying to perform a system restore to several points. Neither solution
solved the problem. Also, the system restore attempts did not complete
successfully and I received an "unspecified system error."
Here are a few things I did before the error ocurred.
First, I installed a new sidebar gadget from the Microsoft site which I then
uninstalled.
I also rebooted my PC since itunes was not starting properly. I rebooted
with my ipod connected and the sytem froze so disconnected it and restarted
in safe mode and the classic windows style start button etc appeared.
When I rebooted I normal mode only the classic view is available and I can
not revert to the normal Vista style. As mentioned, a system restore from
several points failed with the unspecified error message dispalyed.
Any idea what caused the problem and how to correct it?
