Dumping new programs & files upon restart...?

I'm working with a Dell laptop w/XP that is dumping all new files, programs and applications upon reboot. It's a stinker.....

any ideas?

Reformat the hard drive then reinstall the OS and all other programs.

I went back to it and found some nannyware called "deepfreeze4" that's dewing the dumping. There's lots on the net about thawing it but I'll prolly take the baby back to it's mommy....

a little off topic but....in a continuation of the perils of puter problems experienced by my mother-in-law....yesterday she showed my husband how she couldn't get the cd that her grand daughter sent her to play.

On the TV
