Thank you very much for the feedback.
I just found SIW2's post. I'll do it soon, but I would like to ask if it wouldn't be better to delete all files on the Windows 7 root and also the BCD files in the Boot directory.
Let me tell you something not exactly related with this issue, but its undirect cause. Before XP there was nothing easier than working with the registry; we could even wipe it all in Regedit by just deleteing each hive, import a full backed one and reboot. After XP it became so difficult that I simplt gave up using registry backups. Now, I just use the registry for very little and simple trticks or replacing some sections with other previously saved settings that are long do set or else. That is why I used to make registry backups reguralarly but I don't have any now. I had already found the recommended tutorial. It is excellent, as Bare Foot Kid says, but I just can't use it without the *.reg files, and as Windows 7 doesn't boot I couldn't import the files with any of that ways if I had them. Like with many other things with Windows, changing the simple way we could manage the registry was very silly because there are other ways to protect the registry.
When SIW2 spoke about replacing the files, I remembered having read about that years ago, shortly after XP appeared, but didn't do anything as I just said. Reading him, I thought that following his guide lines I could do it without problem, but then I found that either three of the required files were missing or they were not necessary and I expected clarification before proceding.
I was just typing on Winword when tthe screen turned black, the computer suddently stopped responding and the red light stayed on, nothing changing after rebooting. I had to clear the BIOS to make it reboot, but Windows didn't even got to the logo. As I have over 100 programs installed and configured, reinstalling the OS means ove one month work.
It is easy to notice that the OS is very close to boot now, and any helping suggestion will be very welcome and tried out.
