    Well I was installing an update to a game, but I doubt that was it since no one else who I know had the the same problem, then my computer froze I could ctrl alt del or anything, I could still open windows from my task bar but I couldn't interact with them so I manually shut it down and got this.
    You just pressed the power button? Reboot again with f8 "repair your computer". Select "system restore". go back in time prior to having problems.

    When I click on system restore it says: 'no restore points have been created on you computer's system drive. To create a restore point open system protector.' When I open the link it says: 'the computer is running in limited diagnostic state. If you use system restore in this limited state you can't undo the restore operation'

    Disks are fine. Startup repair thinks it boots fine... actually is booting without problems. Only you cannot logon. No image backups. No restore points.

    Do you have a win7 system repair disc or win7 install DVD?
    ------------------
    Does boot to safe mode work? Safe mode with command prompt?
