Computer Problems

Here's some more detail about my recent computer glitches...

  • I can't open either the regular hard drive or the external one by double clicking, only by right clicking and highlighting "Explore".
  • The first time I tried opening each one with a double click, it said something called "Recycler" was missing. Somehow this folder (which appears to have nothing in it) wound up on my portable mini-drive. I've tried moving it back to both computer drives, and then deleting it from my portable, but every time I plug the portable back in, the folder reappears on it.
  • The problems started after I had to manually turn off my computer. I was trying to upload a file to Megaupload, and it seemd to be stuck in a never-ending wait, so I turned the whole thing off.
  • When it comes to torrents, I can only save them now to my computer, and not open them directly in my download program. I'm not sure how this switch happened, and I don't know how to switch it back.

Anybody got any ideas? o_O I was going to try a system restore, but there are no current restore points.
