You will probably need to create a new user account. The profile is damaged
in some way. You can try copying the old settings to the new account in the
System app in control panel.

In addition to system restore, you might also try a system repair from
the Vista DVD. This may or may not help your situation. I would also
recommend you download and install (and use) a high quality disk imager
(backup) program in case things go wrong. Right now Vista x64 members
get 20% off by using this link: 'Acronis True Image - Vista'
(http://www.vistax64.com/acronis.html)

I hope this helps.
