Selective Startup problem makes PC not bootable...Help!

[Guest]

I have a spyware program that has been annoying me by bogging down the
general speed of my PC. Instead of un-installing it, I decided to
type"msconfig" under the run command. I then used selective start up and had
it not boot with the system. This had been working fine for several weeks.
Out of nowhere, the program seemed to want to startup again when opening
windows XP. I, of course was in a hurry & decided to go back to selective
start up. I clicked on, what I thought, was the program and deselectived it.
I then rebooted the computer & then trouble happened.
I obviously deselected something else(not program related) and now my
computer will not boot. It says it's missing a needed file(can't remember
what it was) I need to use my CD and boot to that. I did that and used the
repair & recovery but all I get is a bunch of DOS commands. I tried to go to
safemode but that is not even an option. I have valuable pictures and emails
and do not want to reload the entire Windows for fear of erasing them. I do
not know where to go from here.......
Bottom Line...........
Is there a way get into selective startup or a back door so I I can simply
just turn everything back on? Please send all ideas and solutions you can
think of.

Stop playing around and causing damage to your computer. You need to
remove the spyware.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help
that you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
