Ok you need to restore the registry.

Start the computer up and keep the Ctrl key pressed until you see the DOS menu.

Select Command Prompt Only and enter.

Then type Scanreg /restore, don't forget the space. Now from the dates shown on the screen choose a date when the computer last ran ok.

Restart and try it again. :thumbsup:
