Well, I've got the PC back up for now. What I did was boot up into command prompt mode and copied the user.exe (original) back into place from the C:\windows\helpdesk\sfc folder. I forgot, that when I replaced it using sfc, that it kept a backup of the original. What I'm wondering is that when I set up a printer (HP Lazerjet 5si/mx) through an application known as netprinter (company app) that it had trouble using the 5si/mx driver, hence I had to use a lazerjet4 driver and it seemed to work. This was the first time I printed from adobe and perhaps it had an issue with the incorrect driver. When I print from IE or Word it doesn't have a problem. I'll try printing a different adobe document and see what happens, if nothing then I know it was that paticular document. Thanks agaain for all the help.
