It seems like you had a virus, and it corrupted your windows install, or your hard drive was corrupted, or is broken. Try and re-install windows and see if that works.

All depends on the Version of Windows this is, but basically as noted two parts are here. Either the Hard Drive (where everything is stored to to load from) is failing, thus any software on it (your data, programs Windows) won't work OR Windows itself got VERY corrupted somehow and you need to reinstall EVERYTHING completely like the very first time you ever used this computer. IN both cases: ALL YOUR DATA, SHORTCUTS, ETC. are toast.

If this is all too complicated and the machine is over three years old anyway, might be time for a fresh start, and get a new system for $300 at Walmart.
