Help! quick view stopped working! and all tool bar icons are missing?

Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problems still occur?

Restart holding the "shift" key.

(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)

If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.

I dont seem to have the startup folder in my library though. Should I get my macbook reformated? If so how?

The Startup Items folder is in the root Library. You don't need the option key to access that Library

Macintosh HD/Library. If it's empty and given the slowness you're experiencing I'd try a re-install of ML.

Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.

The screen should give you these choices...

Restore from TM backup

Reinstall Mac OS X

Disk Utility

First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.
