What other files have you been editing? When did this start happening? Did you alter /etc/profile for instance?

No I haven't edited any other files. I downloaded a youtube widget and that crashed my system so I uninstalled it. Should I just re-install unbuntu? Thank you Smilie.

Installing that youtube widget has apparently caused far-reaching changes, more than a youtube widget really ought to. I'd consider it suspect. A reinstall might be in order if you don't have backups.
