If your computer ever gets into a bad state, the first thing you should do is find out how it got into that state. What was the most recent change to your system? Did you install a new piece of software? Did you change some system settings? After identifying the cause, try to revert the change (ie. uninstall the program).
If all else fails, dont fret. You can use the handy dandy built in System Restore where you will be able to restore your computer to a previous working state. Go to Start-->Accessories-->System Tools-->System Restore and follow the simple wizard. Your system will be reverted to an earlier state but dont worry; your files and documents will not.
Another good time to use system restore is when get infected by viruses or spyware. Instead of spending countless hours trying to get rid of them, just use System Restore.
Bottom Line
Try to do some initial investigation at first so you can avoid troubles in the future. But if all else fails, try using system restore.
