Computer haywire after system recovery - HELP

I am having an enormous amount of trouble after doing a system recovery on my computer.
I am using Windows ME.
I have done the system recovery many times before with no problems, however, this time after doing it I am having a lot of trouble on my computer.

The system recovery was to only reinstall the original programs on my computer, not to delete or change anything.
Here is a list of the known problems after I did the system recovery.

Lost all word documents
Lost all video files
Lost only HALF music files
Lost all picture files but ONE
My most currently used programs are not being listed on the start menu under programs
My download programs are not on the start menu, but NOT missing, I am have having to search the computer for them.
The Windows log on page still appears even after no user name or password is entered (is not suppose to appear after first log on if no user name and password is entered)

Most strange, after this happened I placed what music files I could find in "My documents" along with some files I reuploaded to my computer, then did another system recovery and now those "new" files are also missing.

Does anyone out there know what might be causing this or how I can fix this.
I really need your help, I am out of ideas.
