Black screen instead of login (can't do anything)

[7UR7L3]

I had recently downloaded login screen changing software. I can't exactly remember what it was, but it was something resembling this [LINK].

So I used it, changed a few things, and it was working great.

When I tried to change the login image's border, I changed them all to transeparent 80x80 and 100x100 bmp's.

When I selected save and apply changes it was working great (opening cmd and typing what was gibberish to me).

Then it opened a window saying that it completed succesfully like normal so I did start, lock, to get to the login screen to see if it worked.

It displayed a black screen, except for a moveable mouse.

I tried ctrl-alt-del and ctrl-shift-esc, but neither did anything.

I held the power button and restarted the computer. It displayed the windows has recovered from an error screen. I selected start as normal. It flashed the underscore blinking for a few seconds, then showed the windows logo and took me to a black screen (with a mouse) where it should take me to the login screen.

I couldn't do anything, so i held the power button and rebooted, but started it in safe mode this time. It displayed a command prompt looking screen with lots of loaded: xxx's. then took me to the black screen (with a mouse, sleightly larger than normal).

I have no idea what to do as I can't seem to do anything but move a mouse (clicking does nothing).

I appreciate any help I get.

Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out how to get to the F8 screen because I normally have to press the function key for the F keys.

Seriously you are amazing! I am so grateful!

You're very welcome. I take it the system restore worked?
