Not good. It appears some of your directories have been
overwritten. Backup what you can then run a disk check, checking
all options (Double-click "My Computer", right-click on "C" drive,
select "Properties", click on "Tools" tab, click the "check now"
button). You may have to reboot before the check begins.

Good Luck,
John
