Does it do it in Safe Mode? If it recently did this try restore to before it started.

Or you can try running Sfc /scannow to see if it repairs any system files.

hi murf. that's exactly what the scannow scan told me....that it fixed a number of corrupted files which, upon reboot, restored my ability to restart from the start button (and whatever else was corrupted)....great advice...thanx again

ps...i couldn't open the logfile for it...i got access denied....so i can't tell you what files were corrupt and got fixed
