My windows is doing weird things. My system restore is not opening. When it does open, a white screen comes up and it does not load. My emails on yahoo mail appear but only the beginning saying from, subject, to, and date appear and not the email. Sometimes when windows starts up, it says that windows can not find my profile and that they will log me in with a temporary profile.

How long has this been happening and do you know what might have happened that started this behavior? first thoughts: virus or spyware. Have you been able to run a virus scan or spyware scan? If this didn't work I would suggest using CCleaner to clean up the junk in the registry and files on the machine. If that doesn't work a windows repair would be in order and this can be done using a windows CD. Of course reformatting and reinstallation is always the best way to go but I'd save that for last.
