So um, I totally jacked up my computer this weekend.

Long story short, I decided to upgrade to 64-bit Vista without doing a whole hard-drive wipe. I spent 4 hours just backing up my documents, pictures, and music, and just couldn't stomach sitting there another 8 hours to back up everything else. So...

I installed Vista. It did *not* give me the option to do an upgrade, only a fresh install. When I got done, all my old stuff was in a file named "Windows.old". According to my limited google research, I thought I could just take the files I still wanted and move them out of the Windows.old folder and put them wherever I wanted.

Now, my crap is all messed up. I did manage to get my documents/music/pictures in the appropriate places, but everything else is a mess. My biggest problem at this point is my program list. NONE of the shortcuts work, and there are oodles of programs on the list that aren't even on my computer anymore (as far as I know). Desktop shortcuts work sporadically, and I can't get my printer driver to install at all.

Help!
