Probably the best fix when Windows won't work is Goback, now owned by Symantec. If someone deleted a system file or something else important, you can revert your drive to a time just before that happened even if Windows won't load. You can do it during the boot. I've been using it since 1999, and it has saved me from installing the OS several times, and has recovered files (it does that, too). Best uninstaller for bad programs because you can revert to a time before the install so there is no trace of the offending application. Not even the usual garbage left in your registry. Currently it's $29.95 on a download from www.symantec.com, and worth every dime in saved time and expenses for those things you'd have to pay to have fixed.
