Something changed, Josey. I think the easy way out is to use a Restore
Point in System Restore to go to the "day before" your husband made whatever
changes he did. If you're not familiar with System Restore, take a look in
Help and Support for the information. You should be able to return your
system to where it worked (and undo your husband's changes).
