Okay there is a small chance for you go to http://www.startdisk.com/ and
download the program it will make a very special boot disk for you.. Take
that put it in the computer and boot to the A: only. Then when Ultimate boot
Disk comes up go to Fix Registry and it will give you a list of back up
registries that windows has hidden away . Tell it to load the one that was
there a day or two before you son was playing on the computer. Should solve
your problem.
