You could boot it in safe mode, but that won't help you much. I suggest talking with someone with admin rights to set up your application. TX

1. You need more RAM, definitely. No other solution\n2. Before after pressing the power button and before windows starts loading, keep pressing F8 repeatedly. When the menu comes up, select Safe Mode, and press enter. The if you cant find the solution, you can atleast copy the files and stuff and the format it

On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you the Boot Menu appears.\n2.Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.\n3.When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.\n\nAfter booting into the safe mode, uninstall any new software that you may have installed or revert the system to the last stable operating point using the System Restore feature (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.\n\nIf you are unable to boot in the safe mode, probably there is some hardware issue.  Check whether the computer fans are working.  Open the computer cabinet and check if there is any dust or dirt clogged in the fan.  Switch off the computer and try cleaning it.  If nothing works, call tech support for your computer manufacturer.

Boot the computer up in safe mode by pressing F8 a couple of times before the windows loading screen appears and select safe mode. If the computer boots you have a problem with one of the driver files if the computer does not boot their is a corrupt main driver file. If you get it running run a scan disk for when the computer is next turned on this should fix any file system errors. See how you get on.If your computer does not boot you might have to reinstall windows making sure you reformat the hard drive (worst case)You might also have a program trying to run when you turn on your computer which has an error causing your computer to screw up.

1. Shut down completely\n2. Press the power button\n3. Wait for the startup chime\n4. Immediately after (not before) the startup chime, press and hold the shift key. Do this until the grey apple loading screen shows up.\n5. Wait while safe mode boots up. It will take a lot longer than regular OS X.\n6. Log in (press shift-enter instead of enter after putting in your password to log in without login items.)\n7. You are in safe mode\n\nSafe mode will run disk repair...let it finish and then restart.
