    When I got to Start and select Run I get the following message "Windows cannot create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed in the desktop instead?" As a result I can't do the normal functions from "Run". I had Geeksquad from Bestbuy look at the computer for a different reason a while back and they had no clue.

    Are you saying the "Browse" feature of Run doesn't work?

    Obviously somethings not quite right.

    Try doing a Windows repair as per this thread HERE

    After you have finished the repair. You will need to update your Windows again, as the repair will wipe all your windows updates.
