Apparently my computer had double files on the c drive so I deleted ten yesterday, before running a disk clean up. I also deleted several miscellaneous programs (not on C) installed when I bought it. today however it failled to start normally. I've tried what was recommended on system recovery options ( command prompt, window memoery diagnostics) but is hesitant to do a system restore/system image recovery as I don't have a piint in time for it to restore too.It has some really important pictures that I don't want to lose. please help me figure out what is wrong.

After "startup repair" you have a choice to click. Something like "view diagnostic details". Click on it. What tests were done and don't have status code 0x0? Give all details please.

You uninstalled programs the way you should?

i am sure it has something to do with the c files I deleted. which is weird because they were duplicates.

saf mode crashes which would lead to th black screen where it asks you to do a diagnosis. in the beginning diagnosis was stuck in an infinite loop but now it justs says windows cannot fix the problem automatically after i did what the microsoft link i linked above told me to do.

You probably deleted the main files not the duplicates. Files in C:\Program Files are normally spoken programs.

Sure you have NO "restore points" at all? Normally creating restore point is enabled by default.

well it IS possible but it says you are in restricted access mode (something like that) and whatever it restores is permanent. Would I lose the picture files if I continue?

With system restore you won't lose any jpg, xls, doc, mp3 etcetera files.

"restricted access mode"??? Exact message please. Try the last restore point or the one before that (write down date/time).
