Explorer.exe (I guess) freezes

hello guys, nice forum you've got here!

anyway, I'm having a biiiig problem with my laptop (right in the midle of a college assignment) and this one I don't seem to get it fixed. so, a few days ago I installed connectifyme but, since it was trial version a uninstalled it yesterday using youruninstaller, and when it asked me if I wanted to reboot or wait I said wait, played skyrim for a couple hours and shut down the computer. today wanted to turn it on and it does start, but freezes with a white taskbar with no items. the desktop items are there but nothig happens when I click. tried to open the task maneger but it is has been trying to open it for 3hours.
already did a system restore with setting from 3 days ago and nothing changed.
already tried to fix windows start with the windows 7 cd but no luck.

any ideas?

cannot press start, therefore don't know how to open a cmd window.

yes, I can boot it in safe mode, already did in order to restore the system.

(should I write in english or Portuguese is ok? lol)

ok, no problem! Obrigado for making me feel at home! haha ok, did the sfc/cannow in safemode and it's scanning, will post the results in 5min.

so, quoting (and translating) "windows resources protection found some damaged files and repaired them successfully (...) changes to system files will be applied after system restart" may I restart?
