What Did Vista Do Now

Hello all,

I boot up my computer and select Word to open Microsoft Word, but before I
even double-clicked the icon I noticed the name ended with either .Lnk or
Ink. So, Microsoft Word opens up and asks me what type of encoding I wish to
choose. I'm like dumb founded as to how I should answer a question I've
never been asked before whenever I opened Word. So, I look over the choices
and choose one, I don't remember which one.

Well, I shouldn't have done that because Vista changed every dam icon on my
desktop to the one used by Microsoft Word. Vista did the same thing to every
program listed in my Quick Launch. When I click on the Start button and
choose All Programs, every program icon has been changed to the one used by
Word.

But wait, it gets worse. Every application on the desktop, Quick Launch and
the Start button All Programs list runs Microsoft Word instead of it's
intended program. Now I have to open up Explorer and navigate to my
application folders in order to run my programs now.

Can somebody please tell me what the F*** happened. I am so freakin' ****ed
off right now I'm ready to throw my PC out of the window. Is there a way to
return my PC to where it was before Vista lost it's mind.

-S

Any program on

Was that another "wow" experience when using Vista? Or was it a "oh ****"
experience?

Cheers.

Well, of course, you never have to do that. Since the gui is
not monolithic to the OS you can simply start a command line login and
reconfigure X11.

Sort of like windows safe mode when you change video cards and
forget to uninstall the old one first.

Big Bad,

Already tried that and Vista's lying butt told me there weren't any restore
points to restore. That's bullcrap because I recall setting at least 3
restore points earlier this year. I'll tell you, when Vista craps on you it
does a dam good job of it.

-S

You really are a jerk.

MS Word when opened should not be asking for any type of "encoding". And
the results of making this choice leads to one conslusion only.

Have you run an up-to-date Virus scanner on the system? If necessary,
remove your hard disk in plug it into an external USB enclosure and
scann it on a friends computer that has an up-to-date virus scanner.

If you even get that far before it crashes. For me, I don't get that far.

Only a total idiot like you Frankie Boy would resort to reinstalling the
whole os because you're too dumb to get your video driver properly
installed. Anyone with an IQ above that of a tape worm would NOT reinstall
to accomplish what you were unable to accomplish.

Cheers.
