don't even know where to start

Question

so yesterday i plugged my laptop into a parallel port to do a presentation. the screen resolution changed, blah blah blah-- normal... i turned off my computer after the presentation before diconnecting from the parallel port that connected me to the projector. when i restarted it several hours later, the screen resolution was still the same so i went into the control panel and changed it. that's when the problems began. once the screen resolution changed back to normal, none of the desktop icons are visible, i cannot select half of the icons-- I can click on the shortcuts ( so i have the internet) but not on any file folders (says that the folders do not exist-- check the name and try again) or the control panel (says 'Windows cannot find '(null)'.' my internet is working fine, but i can't access much else, including most of the files i need to use... help!

Try going into Windows and selecting a restore point prior to all of this happening.

Windows General
