No programs load on main account, system must be shut down manually

Jacee and RoboticArm: Thanks, it was in fact on the bottom of my laptop. I'll post back here when I have downloaded the iso. That won't be until later tonight, so until then, thanks for your help!
RoboticArm: You are a wonderful human being. Seriously. Thank you for the sound advice and quick replies. It has made this unpleasant ordeal surprisingly educational, and much less frustrating.

Thankyou so much for the kind words and you're most welcome. After you download the ISO, I can tell you how to make a bootable pendrive if you want, or a DVD would be even better - it would be permanently stored there - a legal licensed copy of Windows. :)

...and don't forget to download the correct version. Time to sleep is nearing...Good night. :)

Alright, so I have downloaded the windows 7 home premium 64bit iso, and am using Ultra ISO to write the iso onto my flash drive (no DVDs available), Write method USB-HDD+. After that, what happens?

So sorry nmayer80 I missed the post about scanning with your anti virus.
A clean install surly will take care of any concerns of infection I mentioned.

Layback Bear: Never apologize for having offered help, at least not to me. You may have some standard which you hold yourself to, but as far as I am concerned, you're all heroes. So thank you for being the kind of person who is willing to help strangers anonymously free of charge. I'm going to have some serious Karma to pay back after all the help I have been given.

Assuming that you opened the ISO with UltraISO and did this:



Now you have a bootable disk ready incase you end up having to clean install, but first attempt a repair install:

Open your thumbdrive through explorer and run Setup.exe and rest of the process is described here: Repair Install (Start with step 5)

So, the repair install didn't fix it. It installed properly, but my main account functions the same. What now?

Yikes. That didnt look good. Results are attached.
