windows OS is damaged, poss the registry. Grab an installation cd of the same update level, eg SP2, and it can be either a M$ version or an OEM one, and change your emergency boot order to CDRom first [my BIOS tells me to hit F11 to get that menu...], run Windows Setup and do a Repair [go past Recovery Console in setup - you do not want that].
