I was able to click on the start button immediately after re-booting and then I was
able to shut down, go into DOS and go to a previous registry. This brought my computer
back to life. Upon careful examination I noticed a new box in the task bar that read
"matcli", I believe. After googling this word I found out that this appeared as a
result of the new printer I just installed (a hewlett packard) It has this "instant
support" package on its installation disk that has been known to cause problems with
operating systems. I should probably uninstall this package or at least stop it from
opening at start up but with my computer now working I think I will wait until I
see some sign of trouble and then uninstall this package. Thank you to everyone who
took the time to read through my problem and offer assistance.
