Immediately.
Or at least in the next few days.
1. Do a backup.
Do a virus/spyware scan, then do a Backup.
If you don't have a backup system, at least use CDRs.
Or get a backup system.

2. Make a Restore Point.
If your system is too old to have this built-in, get Norton GoBack.

I've seen way too many people hurt lately by the torture if dying computers.
Please. You'll be glad you did.

*winghugs to those in need*.

XP does a snapshot every time it's booted sucessfully (or is it when it's shut down normally, I forget, darn Alzhiemer's is a terrible thing to waste! ;-).

Win2K is much more problematic, and you're advice on the GoBack is solid.

For XP folks, take a peek at your System Restor properties like so:

R Click on My Computer
Select Properties
Click on the System Restore tab

Verify Turn off System Restore is NOT checked. Give System restore at least 2MB of disk space, 4MB+ is better, just leave the Disk Space slider all the way to the right is best.

CYa!

And oddly 'nuff, I've found many systems (mostly non-Dell) don't have restore on as a default... ;P
