That is the message I get when I try to start my computer :/ The same thing happens no matter what mode I try to boot in, safe or otherwise. This happened right after I uninstalled a program called Playitall media Player. Right after the uninstallation, all of the icons on my desktop started acting really weird—they lost all their important right-click menu options—I couldn't open, rename, go to properties, etc. The only options I had were cut, delete, and something else, which I can't remember. So, I restarted my computer hoping it would fix that, and here I am now.
My computer:
Compaq
Windows XP Pro
service pack 3
System restore was going to be my attempted solution, but I can't even get in to try it, so what should I do? ...I reeeaaaally don't want to factory settings it, as I have a lot of stuff I don't want to lose.
I also don't have the Windows installation CD... That might complicate things a bit, I expect.
