Help
My laptop is barely working. When I log in the normal way, sometimes it hangs up right after I type my password. If I am able to get through, everything is very slow, and if I try to click on any program it says that it's "not a valid win32" application. Basically, I can't do anything when I get to my desktop, and if I try to go to the start menu, I just get an hourglass icon and can't click on it. I really don't want to reinstall Windows or lose any of my files. Is there any way I can fix this?

Have you tried from safe mode?
Have you tried a system restore?
FWIW: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000726.htm
System manufacturer and model?
