I have a problem with an HP machine and hoped someone might know how to get rid of it. What happened is I ran the HP recovery software from the backup partition to fix a windows error, and now I can get into windows XP fine but loads of the installed programs don't work. It seems to have backed up all the files and settings, but like I said half the programs installed wont run. I believe I had the same problem a while ago using the XP recovery console a while back and couldnt figure out a fix, but if anyone knows one please let me know as Im totally stuck.
 
The system restore makes a backup of the registry.

The backup was before the progs were installed (I imagine). Reinstall the apps and they will work. You should still have most of your settings (like saved games, etc)
