From safe mode menu could you select "repair my Computer" and let me know if that works

OK when you start the computer immediately press and hold F8
A menu will then appear
From the list select "repair my computer"

If that should fail then we will reset the system and approach it a different way

Again get to the safe mode menu but this time select

Safe mode with a Command prompt

At the command prompt, type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and then press ENTER.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to a functional state.

didn't work out and i didn't had the Safe mode with a Command prompt, but as i have an Acer i  hitted alt+f10 hopping for any restoration menu, but now i'm on a screen that say

Edit windows boot options for: Windows Setup

Path: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe

and then a large command in [ ] ending in boot.wim.

Damn, how do i have to proceed?

Edit: Sorry if i'm panicing a little, but i'm kind of scared.

Edit 2: Also, if it is helpfull, i'm windows 7

Aye those were commands for windows 7

OK lets try a different approach now

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks




  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.[/b]
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.



Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
