Hi and welcome

I'm not a Windows user so can't help, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly.

It could be almost anything, registry corruption is one possibility.
I've never found "last known good" to achieve anything useful.

Do you have an installation disk for Vista, if so you might be able to try a system restore?

I purchased a PC

How long ago did you purchase it and have you tried a "System Restore" going back to when you know it worked properly?

If you have the Vista installation disc, then you can boot from that and do a "Repair" as one of the options (eventually) presented.

hi frazter1 and welcome.

if its a phenom cpu you have then its gonna be quite a new machine.

in which case your problem might be a factory pre- installation mess-up and i would recommend a recovery to reinstall windows and associated software.

to do this, turn on the machine and start pressig F8 straight away and keep pressing once a second until you see a 'advanced boot menu'.  on there the first option will be 'repair your computer', press enter on it and follow the on-screen instruction to reset the machine.

be warned that that this process will delete all user data so backup before you go ahead.

any queries with it, give a holla
