My name is Cbarnard I hope I may be of some assistance to you.
Please keep in mind this is not our job and I'm not here 24\7. It can take a little bit of time for me to reply back to you,
if it has been more than 48hrs since a reply, please PM me and I will be with you as soon as possible.
With that said lets take a look and get this problem taken care of.
He went into my start up (msconfig) and unchecked everything, thinkikng it would boot up faster, then he ran some cleaning programs like Spybot search and destroy, AVG, spyware terminator, malware bytes and regseeker
What exactly did he uncheck in MSCONFIG ?
I see you have regseeker you should uninstall this. These programs cause more trouble than their worth. If your registry gets screwed up you can experience problems(kind of like this)
Are you right clicking on the program you want to run and the selecting "run as administrator" Just because your are in the admin account doesn't mean you are starting the programs as such. We will have to look at what he has done
Most of the software has backups created so these type of problems can be reversed. So don't lose hope yet
Get back to me and I will help you further

RegSeeker is a registry troubleshooting and tweaking tool to be used in emergencies when searching in the registry needs to be done faster.
Although RegSeeker is safe; it can also make a person sorry for ever using it. Read the following page and see the warning on the screenshot. RegSeeker freeware page

There is a stern warning. I did not recommend, ask, or try to ask of any downloading of the tool.
Although, it may seem like I said it is safe, I also said that users can be sorry as well for using it. Every registry modification is a risk. Through testing or just playing around; severe damage is possible!!!
Thank you for attempting to correct an issue, but it is now clear that I added to the warning!

Can you access MSCONFIG?
Also, can you right click on System Restore and run the restore point?

Reboot the computer
Then strike the F8 key several times before windows boots up, it should bring you to a screen that is black with white letters.
On this screen you will have the option to use:
Safe mode
Safe mode with networking
and Safe mode with command prompt.
Select Safe mode.
When it boots into windows select "Administrator"
Then see if you can get into MSCONFIG and click on normal boot
Then reboot and see if this will take care of your problem
I hope this will help
Let me know how this works and I will try and assist you further
Good Luck

Sometimes we really don't know such things (as who is really who), and we can't help you
