I uninstalled a Microsoft windows office trial and now my shortcuts won't work, I can't start the programs from their file folders either. Control panel is out. I get a message that says this is a file that cannot be opened on everything. I can't install or uninstall anything. I can download, I can get into my computer files and I have the Internet but that's all.
What can I do? I have an emachine and windows xp. emachine has a restore cd, I did a simple restore and it didn't help, should I do a total restore and start from scratch?
