HELP! i can't start XAMPP

[ohdang888]

So....
i had a boot-up computer error yesterday. i called hp (i have vista) and i got it fixed with system restore. i got a message saying that system restore did not damaged or delete any files.

but now i can't even find the control panel for XAMPP. its not on my desktop or recycle bin. i can't find it in the XAMPP folder either!

GAH!!!!! so now i can't start it. Does anyone here know where the .exe file would be located on my computer, or is there anywhere i can download it. becuase i have a good amount of work on that server, and i know i can transfer the files, but thats a hastle. so PLEASE HELP!

any suggestions?
