I suggest you try in Safe Mode per :\n\nTo run System Restore in safe mode\nAccess System Restore through Help and Support. \nFollow the instructions on your screen. \n Notes\n\nTo access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Using System Restore to undo changes, and then click Run the System Restore Wizard. \nWhile the computer is in safe mode, System Restore does not create any restore points. Therefore, you cannot undo a restoration that you performed when the computer was in safe mode. \nYou can use System Restore to restore your computer to any restore point while in safe mode. If you cannot start the computer in standard mode, you can use System Restore to restore to a time when you could start the computer without errors. \nTo restore to a time when your computer started without errors, select a restore point as close to the time you remember it last started without errors. \nIf System Restore is suspended because of insufficient disk space, you cannot enable it by making more disk space available while in safe mode. You must restart the computer in standard mode and make more disk space available.

Assuming it is Windows XP, run the system restore utility (Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Restore).  Use the calendar and select a date prior to the time the problem started. This will put the computer back to the state it was in on that date. Just be aware that if you have installed any software or changed any settings on the computer since then, they may get lost.

If you haven't turn off the System Restore utility, you can restore it by Start Menu | Program Files | System Tools | System Restore\n\nThen you choose which date (before you mess around with the group policy setting)

If you cannot access msconfig then perhaps you need to try this.  \nTry the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files.  Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

Go to Start Menu, then Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools.\n\nDo a system Restore and set it back to a couple of days so that you can get it back to way it was.\n\nSometimes after a blackout or a power outage, if you dont have a surger protector, you can really screw up your system.
