everytime my computer restarts, everything gets reseted. Like if i moved my desktop items, changed my background, changed some settings, they all get reset. And it treats me as if im made a new user account (or just bought the com.) Like it asks me if i want to take a tour of windows XP.

Rule #1 Good computers don't go down. Rule #2 There is no such thing as a good computer.
