Reboot and press F8 repeatedly just before the Vista splash screen shows up.

This will get you to the Safe Mode dialog (a black screen with choices).
Choose "Last Known Good Configuration" and see if that works.
Or, try booting into Safe Mode with Networking support.

Once in, backup everything immediately.
