Thanks for the information, just received it today, one day too late. It was a virus or malware that caused the problem. What it did was caused problems first in Outlook, then jumped to IE, and what happened then was it caused windows to pop up all over the place, then a warning that looked like a Windows Defender Warning came up with a IE window that said that I had a virus and needed to scan the computer. Once it scanned it disabled all antivirus, spyware, and pop up blockers. Then it directed you to a site that sold Vista Repair 2008.It would also not allow you to go to a restore point which I tried, all you get is a black screen of deathwhen completed. AllI could do was reformat my hard drive. This virus was not found by any of my three antivirus, three spyware, or Microsoft Complete Care. It is one nasty virus.

I see, you may contact the vendor of anti-virus software or post the symptom to the forum of those anti-virus software. It may help to get the resolution more effectively
