System crashed then user account damaged

My system just crashed. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.

I was running many application including, After Effects, when the system just froze and I have to perform a hard reset.

When I restarted I know something was wrong when I saw the message "Preparing your desktop" after logon.

Now my user account is damaged. The desktop is like a new install and when I try to run an application I am told that my Internet security level is preventing it from running.

And to top that off, my system restore turns out to have been off.

I have a backup, but it want to restore the whole drive (and the backup is 6 days old (I know, I should have kept it current).

Is there any way to use the backup and restore my user account?

Thank you for any assistance.

 

If the backup is 6 days old and you have no restore point i think youll be stuck 6 days in the past sorry i cant think of nothing

 

Try pressing F8 in advanced user mode choose "last known good configuration", see if that helps you !
