New changes to system are gone after reboot!

Hello!

I have something very odd and abnormal going on; whenever I download a file, install a program, change the wallpaper, etc. everything is reverted back to the stage before anything was done after a reboot. The machine has Windows XP installed.. any clues on this? I have tried several things like running virus-scan with Avast, but there are no viruses found. Also, if I try to do a CHKDISK (which needs a reboot), instead of executing CHKDISK the system goes straightly to the desktop..

Thanks for any help!

Search in the registry for "NoSaveSettings"
If you found this key under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Simple delete the key or set to 0

Thanks for the tip, but there's no such key
