Hey tulky
What were the last things you did just before you shut down the comptuer?
do you have a backup we can restore from?
Do you have a recovery disk?
Can you try booting in safe mose (hit F8) when booting?
Last can you fill in your system specs (they go in the lower left corner of your posts) so we know what hardware you have

As long as it is the same OS (ie vista 32bit, or vista 64bit) it should work for a repair install. click on the link in the other post and read the instructions.
Let us know if you need help with this
