Editted: found a partial solution online now im having a different problem the windows file NFTS is missing or cant be found any easy fix for this? i have windows vista 32-bit. btw.

Alright the NFTS file is missing still and when i get it to launch(telling it to cancel searching) it loads windows and then freezes, although the mouse still moves.

Im so stumped im trying to get my new video card to work and i cant get my computer to boot right so i can install the drivers.

As always any and all help will be appreciated.

you tried doing it in safe mode? does vista even have a safe mode? Sorry i cant be more help. im better with physical and electrical issues( which are still physical) . Its those random missing files and lines of obscure code i have issues with.

Do you have the vista disk??? if so get to bios and have it boot to cd...put your disk in,when asked to boot from cd,hit any key.You should be able to repair windows.

System Configuration
You have used System Configuration to make changes to the way windows starts.
System Configuration is currently in Diagnostic or Selective Startup mode.
To start Windows normally and undo the changes you made, select Normal Startup on the General tab and restart your computer.
[] Don't show this message or start System Configuration when Windows Starts

Do you have the disk??If so,then boot up from the cd....Then it should start the loading of files,it will check to see if you have windows installed.youll see first screen,it will give you options.Just hit enter,the second screen will give you options too,but here you can,do a fresh install, or repair windows....Repair Windows is what you want to do from here.
