    ok, here is a few things to try.

    1:put in your setup installation disc in the CD-Drive. When your computer starts up you should see it display a message to bring up the setup menu (Delete key I think).Then go to the option (forgot which one) that has your start-up devices.You may see IDE-0 (Or whatever hard disc you have),then Floppy A:,Then cd-drive (Not in same order maybe).Change it around. Set the IDE-0 to the 3rd option, Change A: to 1st, And change CD-Drive to 2nd. Then hit esc. then hit F10 (maybe be different it means Save & Exit). Then when your computer starts up you should get some options. Choose run setup from CD-ROM. Then follow these instructions to reinstall your system files.

    Do not worry it will not delete any of you current files on your computer. Only the system files which it seems is what your problem is.
