The restore went back 2 weeks but it still could not open Office so I did another restore going back another 2 weeks. After that my computer starts but only shows the picture that i have for wallpaper. No icons, no taskbar, nothing. The CD Drive does not read CD's, and when I try to start it up in Safe mode it just hangs up with a black screen and Safe mode written in each corner. I can open the task manager and everything I select to open comes back saying it can'f find the application to open it. I don't know what to try next. I can't even get into setup. HELP!
