Selective Startup problem makes PC not bootable. HELP!!

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.

Well for selective start-up one only needs to tap the F8 key on starting
the computer.However,i would return to recovery 1st,type:CHKDSK C: /R
When its thru,type:EXIT Then tap F8 for safe mode,enter as administrator.
