So today my laptop could not start up for some reason. I had to make a restore CD from my desktop (also a windows 7) and use it to repair my laptop. After it repaired my laptop, when I log in i get this ODBC32.dll error. This also occurs when i try to run certain programs, how do i repair this? For example one program i use called ultrasurf (web surfing proxy) no longer works after this startup repair and i get the error stated in the title.
Another problem i have is that the wireless network i have has now became limited access for no reason? I am still able to use the internet but for some reason it is limited access.
A third problem that has also occured is that i can no longer print things from my printer (since it is connected to my network). In my network and sharing center it says "the dependency service or group failed to start." This is in the spot where it would normally have the network map.
i would like to do a system restore, but there are only 3 restore points all of which are after the problem started occurring, so i cant even do a system restore.
For some reason I can still use the internet even though it says im not connected and my wifi network is "limited access". I will be heading to college next year, so im worried that i may not be able to connect to other wifi networks, and would like to get this "limited access" issue resolved before then.
Also I only want to do a factory setting restore as a last resort, any idea how to fix these problems, or even how to attempt a proper system restore (without losing all my files).
Thanks
