    Can you boot into 'safe mode'? For help on booting into safe mode, see this thread.

    If you can boot into safe mode, then goto to add/remove and see if you can remove any software you installed recently.

    Also, can you post the link to the software you downloaded?

    If you have XP or ME do a System Restore to a point prior to the date you got the problem.

    If you can boot into safe mode it will give you the option to either continue with safe mode or go to System Restore.

    Choose the latter.
