Good morning to the more technologically inclined folks of TFP. I was hoping for a little help regarding an issue I experienced yesterday and today.

Yesterday, my girlfriend wanted to transfer pictures from some flash media to our computer. She found the computer frozen, and was unable to open My Computer. She restarted the computer, which I believe brought up the Safe Mode screen, and opted to boot it in Normal Mode (Windows XP).

It booted to the WindowsXP loading bar screen, then turned blank with no change. We repeated several attempts in Safe Mode, and attempted to Load a Previous System Restore Point, all with the safe results. I was beginning to consider a Destructive System Restore, but one last attempt at a restart worked.

I restarted the computer again, later, and found the same result, though I had to restart much less. Now today I have begun to peruse the System Tools, and My Computer, attempting to access our Flash Media, and both have resulting in Non-Responsive programs.

Disk Defragementer will not load.
My Computer will load, but will not load drives.
My Documents is functional.

The only recent installation was for SharpDevelop 3.1, TortoiseSVN, and FxCop, as I have begun to teach myself Visual Basic .Net. I've been running Console applications that I have programmed as part of my exercises.

Can anyone offer some insight?
