I've been having a problem recently with Windows Vista Premium which is
driving me up the wall.
I only got my new laptop about a week and a half ago and everything has been
great, but recently (last 4 days) whenever I turn my laptop back on in the
mornings, my programs have disapeared. Not all of them, but ususally the most
recent ones. The desktop icons dissapear and are are replaced with "file"
icons. When I go to the start menu and programs, the program folders are
there, but when I open one of these programs, my laptop tells me 'the item
that this shortcut refers to has been moved or is no longer available' .
When this first happened I re-installed my missing programs and they all
worked fine again. Then when I turned my laptop on again the next morning, I
had the same problem.
I've ran spybot today and also did a quick norton scan but no viruses or
spyware was found. Im at my wits end and I dont want to keep having to
download these files again.
