    Hi guys,
    I was trying to burn an ISO image last night, I had done it before on my Aspire 6935. Unfortunatly, the first time I tried with Magic ISO it didn't work. So I tried with Alcohol 120 and again it didn't work,so stupidly I downloaded a free ISO burning program and of course this didnt work, instead the computer froze and then blue screened! :S It did dump a file so where would I find that? Anyway, I turned my computer back on, loged on fine, but I was welcomed by an orange screen and the Documents folder open, I have no idea why! Now when I start task manager, all that is running are the things that you expect to on the logon screen (like the logon process etc...). So I decided to virus scan, nothing, and then I decided to start explorer by the new task option, this worked! Thank god! My computer all works its just this annoying orange screen. Now I don't know what I've done wrong! I've unistalled all the burning software! I had a problem of not being able to urn discs wit my old computer so maybe its something I've installed but have no idea what! Video codecs? I guess my question is what has happened and how do I put it right?
    Thanks to anyone that can help!

    anyone?
    I'm thinking of re-installing Vista to be honest. If if do, with my Acer recovery disks, will it wipe my data partition aswell?

    No. Data is saved to the D Partition and is not affected by the recovery process.

    Recovery only affects the C Partition and re - installs the OS as it was when it left the factory.

    Happy days
