My hack Gateway laptop computer (on borrowed time) runs on Vista Home Premium (32 bit) - I was prompted the other night to run a Java download which I did. This blew the whole thing - I lost everything off my desktop all the programs disappeared from the start menu - everything. McAfee runs cleanly, Firefox had to be completely re-installed and lost all its bookmarks (although this has subsequently come back), although I'm unsure whether this has re-instated through the excellent XMarks app. Not too worried about this as everything important is backed up elsewhere...
Is there a simple fix. Tried a restore from before the Java download made no difference.
