My advice is to backup everything if you have not already, and download the live desktop cd about 700 megs and do a fresh install. The only other options are spend mega hours trouble shooting which is time consuming which you stated above you don't have the time for or switch to another OS/distro which will be very time consuming and possible mega downloads.
For me a complete install with additional programs and restore of about 200 GIG of photo's takes less than 3 hours including the download of the live desktop.
But than if you want to learn, by troubling shooting your OS, usually linux can be fixed, sometimes with just a few clicks of the mouse or command line edits, up to mega hours of research trial and errors. Again time spent is yours. If you want to try and fix, pick one problem and lets see if we can work through it, but lets do it one problem at a time.
