HAD CRASH, NOW SOME PROGAMS WONT RUN AND OTHERS WONT LOAD.
AM BEING TOLD THAT WINDOWS IS RUNNING IN MS-DOS
COMPATABILITY MODE? HOW TO FIX?

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Remove ALL 'Other Devices' if present
Remove ALL instances of any duplicated devices
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall required drivers.

See if that helps
