Won't boot unless I use "EDIT BOOT OPTIONS (F10)" at boot screen

In order to get my laptop running I have to press F10 at the boot, which brings me to a screen that says:

EDIT BOOT OPTIONS
edit windows boot options for: windows 7
path: \windows\system32\winload.exe
partition: 3
hard disk: 350f350f
[ /NOEXECUTE=OPTION /MININT
]

In order to boot, I have to erase the text:
"/NOEXECUTE=OPTION /MININT"


After that I can boot.

PLEASE HELP!

Hi, welcome to the forums :)

You could try checking the 'Environment Variables' options...

Click Start then right-click Computer and select 'Properties'. From there, click 'Advanced system settings' followed by the 'Environment Variables'. Have a look in the lower box to see if those exact options are there. If so, you should be able to delete them.

I cannot guarantee the effect of this as i've not had personal experience with the issue you're explaining.

These are the settings that I have in the environmental settings panel thingy:

To be more specfic, if I don't use the little fix that I figured out (deleting the text at the boot options screen), my boot process stalls at CLASSPNP.SYS. I found that out by trying safe mode (which also does't work).

I have tried start-up repair, no success. I have tried renaming the file to CLASSPNP.OLD using the command prompt on the windows 7 repair disc, and the result I got was something to the extent of "Cannot find the file specified."

I hope this helps with solving my problem!

Sorry, you posted this as I was typing

That's fine! I double posted :P

And I really do appreciate all of your help with this! I am using the sfc /scannow test now, and I will update when it finishes.

It said that it didn't come back with any integrity errors
