If your receiving that message then registry is corrupted some how. Reboot and hold down f8 and select command prompt. Then type scanreg/restore or scanreg /restore( with a space between)
Then select a previous date. If it doesnt work choose another one.
After that if it boots , scan your cpu for viruses . see ya

also, when doing scanreg /restore only try going back 3 days if you can, sometimes I have found that if you try to go back 4 or 5 days it won't (successfully) and then you will have to try scanreg /fix.
