My PC was built up in 2006: Pentium 4 processor/4Gb memory/C Drive 85Gb/D Drive 120Gb/Asus Motherboard P5GPL-X.
In 2010 my son reinstalled the OS disc and repartitioned the drives. All went well until recently when I tried a System Restore from a Restore Point. After waiting for a couple of hours a screen error message appeared: "winlogon.exe-SHLWAPI.dll is missing and can not be located". I clicked OK and the PC restarted but I could not bootup to my Start Menu. I tried several times(10 times) but the error message still pops up and my PC won't bootup.
My son tells me to reinstall the OS disc, but I will lose all my files and some pricey application softwares. I know there are some good souls out there who may have some great ideas. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.
