Windows puts up the scariest messages sometimes, when often the problem is minor.

The easiest thing to try first is restore a registry backup dated prior to this problem. 
There are only 5 backups by default. Start/Shutdown, choose Restart in MS DOS mode, 
or reboot and press the CTRL key, just before Windows loads, until you get the boot 
menu. Choose Command prompt only. 

At the C:\> type: scanreg /restore Press enter. A good backup will have the 
word "Started" before it. Choose a date prior to this problem. Then hit Enter. You 
should get a message that Windows successfully restored the registry. Then CTRL_ALT_DEL 
to get back into Windows.
