[help] Computer Dead!

My main computer is effectively dead. I will give you an account of the steps to its death.

Previously, the only mods were Y'z dock and a hacked UXTheme.dll.

I installed Flyakite under custom and had it do everything except the boot and kill screens and other little things. It failed to install the explorer.exe and a few other files (like Access Wizard).

After the computer restarted (yes, a restore point was created), I was unable to access the start menu or the help and support wizard (I.e., no access to system restore). I got to the control panel and uninstalled Flyakite (and all of its files).

Now, whenever I start my computer, I receive a black screen where a login should be along with my cursor. Nothing else.

My startup sequence is as follows...

VAIO Welcome

Brief Second of Details

Windows XP Startup (I.e. bootscreen)

NOTHING!!! (where a login screen should be)

I NEED HELP!!!

I use Windows XP Home SP1 on a 2.3GHz Pentium 4 Vaio

1. go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore and launch rstrui.exe. that's system restore.

2. use recovery console and do a system restore.

3. do a repair installation.
