Adjusted points to 250
lets try this first hermano
boot up comp and as its first starting hold down the ctrl key and when the menu comes up select command prompt ,
At  C:\  type  "scanreg/fix "  without quotations   and lets see if that will help  if not let us know
also when this first started ,had you installed any program,, anynew hardware,,made any changes if so we need to know ,but do the scanreg/fix , it mite do the trick      James
