Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted but Hexus has always helped out in the past...
so...
I run windows 7 64bit on my HP G61 laptop. It's run fine since I bought it in January. Unfortunately this afternoon some strange things have started to happen.
To start with it randomly turned itself off (or possibly went into sleep mode). I thought the battery was dead so I plugged in power and restarted. When it had rebooted itself fine, I went to open usual applications like Skype, Opera, iTunes and.....
...nothing. Nothing at all happened, they just wouldnt open. I tried other applications booting from the start menu and for most its exactly the same. The only programs that do want to open are 64bit Internet Explorer, Media Centre, Explorer, 64bit Photoshop, McAfee security centre.
Apart from that nothing else opens as far as I can see. I've googled most of the afternoon looking for solutions and it seems quite a few people have had this problem before but all the suggested solutions have so far failed.
I was hoping there was anyone who could offer some advice? I've backed everything up and done virus scans etc
Thanks A Lot! (As I said, its been a while since I've posted so if this is in the wrong place I'm sorry!)
