Run it in safe mode. Do a virus scan. That's pretty much it. Get a spyware scanner too. If that doesn't work, take it to Best Buy and pay $100 to get your system rebooted. That's what I did. I also got an external hard drive so I don't have to worry about all my files getting deleted.

does it happen all the time when you start the computer up?

basically, you can do;

start the computer in safe mode, reboot, then see if it does it
start the computer normally (if its not doing it all the time)

let me know the details of it, there are some files you can copy to fix the problem (if it needs repairing), windows keeps those files on your PC incase you don't have the recovery disk

ok, startup and do the start->run, type in scanreg like the dude above you said, if that doesnt work, i'll give you the location of some backed up files you can use which will probably work (as a last resort)
