lindia you need to press f8 before your computer is in
sart-up mode which means pressf8 as soon as you turn on
your computer before windows srceen comes up it mite take
a few goes before you get to f8.when you get there undo
the problem from there. if this does not work you may
have to go into systems restore if you can find out what
date this all happened then go back to an earlyer time in
the systems restore point. thats all i know hope it helps
good luck
