    See if it will boot to Safe Mode - reboot pressing F8 furiously and repeatedly.

    You could try searching through the registry to see if you can find references to veriftl

    ( To search the registry use - START - Run - regedit )

    If references are found, it may show you which software it is related to then you could Add/Remove the offending software

    Sure it's not verify.dll?

    If it will boot to "Safe mode" or to the normal desktop then I would try a Sytem Restore in the first instance.

    If that doesn't work - as this sort of error is often (ultimately) caused by malware of some sort - I would be inclined to scan for and remove that. Even if system restore works it might not be a bad idea.

    It would be useful to have a bit more info to work with - make / model of system, operating system, recent history etc.
