OH,

That was a bad idea.

You should never run an .exe unless you know what it is.

Try going to Start > Run, and type msconfig.

Disable all entries except for your anti-virus, spyware detector, and personal firewall if you have one.

Now restart your computer.

Click to expand...

If you have installed updates from Windows Update, you should have restore points to go back to.

Are you saying none are showing up?

Yiks

Maybe some else has some ideas other than re-installing.

Sorry I couldn't help you further.

When you were in Msconfig,did you look under the "Boot" tab? You may find an added entry there which is obviuosly wrong??
Otherwise, open the Control Panel (icon view) System - Advanced System - "Advanced" tab. Look under "Start up and Recovery" settings and see if you have a wrong default sitting there.

I have the same problem here and I checked out the "Startup and Recovery" dialog and everything looks normal. Perhaps I need a BCD editor.
