jebbypalWell, I think I've fixed it. Not all my preferences or tweaks are added yet, but I think I've fixed it. *crosses fingers and knocks on wood*
In case anyone else has a similar problem (or I do again), here's where I found out what to do: Recovering a damaged windows xp user profile
For the record, system restores never do anything for me, so I chose the third option of making a new profile and copying over the files I wanted to keep. Probably need to do another defrag now afterwards since I chose not to include torrents, but well...I have what I need plus all my bookmarks.
Now then, I believe I shall go and attempt to delete all the extraneous files that are ANNOYING THE BEJESUS out of me like the frakking viewpoint toolbar manager that I have no clue what it does. And from what I find online, I don't think it's necessary for my system. Methinks I'll go ahead and try to make a system restore point just in case though.

Had that been your problem previously? If best buy lost all your data then, they really didn't know what they were doing. the corrupted profile seems to be an easy fix so long as the cause isn't a virus or something. Methinks mine was cause by the ungentleness I used on sunday to disconnect a phone cord from my baby. I felt bad about it, but the stupid thing wouldn't let go.
