Starting a few weeks ago, when I try to attach a file through forums, Hotmail or Netaddress, I get "page cannot be dispayed" in the attachment window.

This happens through any user account on this computer. It happens after I
clear the startup in msconfig. It happens in safe mode. It happens every time both in IE and Firefox.

My hosts file is clear.

When I try to run system restore, I get "System Restore Application has
encountered a problem and needs to close."

Everything else seems to work perfectly.

Around the time this started, I installed a new hard drive and used Data
Lifeguard Tools to copy everything over. The old drive is disconnected.

Any way to fix this short of reinstalling?
