If I am understanding correctly you can get into windows right?
If so please do the following.
Download Autoruns from the link in my signature below:
1: Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder.
2: Double-click the "Autoruns.exe".
3: Click on the "Everything" tab
4: Remove any entries that mention "File Not Found" by right-clicking the entry and select Delete.
5: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.
6: Save AutoRuns.txt file to known location like your Desktop.
7: Attach to your next reply.

A registry cleaner will not increase your system's speed or performance, and has the potential to break your registry to the point that your PC is no longer bootable.
We strongly advise that people stay away from any of the registry cleaners out there.
Go HERE to get more information about why registry cleaners aren't needed.
Thanks to Sari for the explanation

Messing with the registry to me is like driving blind in a snow storm. You might do well for awhile but eventually it will not be a good ending.
The problem with registry cleaners in most cases is that they really can't determine what is a good entry and what is a bad entry. When they can't figure it out they will usually delete the entry. The wrong entry can at the least cause problems with the system. Worst case scenario the system will no longer boot up and major work would need to be done to bring it back to life if it is even possible.
I have seen cases where it is so far damaged that the only way to correct it is to format and do a fresh install of the OS. To most of us geeks not a problem but to the average user it is a devastating reality.
I just want to make sure your friend understands the worst case scenario of using these types of miracle working programs.

I had to quote this that is so true !! Lol as a geek sometimes I would rather just do a clean install if I don't have important files on my pc.
