hello gointo safe mode and chose a restore point from befor you installed pop program. i think its your problem.if no restore point delete pop program.and clean it from the registry.if you cant get into safe mode. you may have to use start up boot disk. and do a scanreg/restore. at the a: type cd\window\command than click enter next c: type scanreg/restore to pick a good restore point it will have "started" beside them if none of the above work you may have to do fdisk/mbr be veary carefull with what you do from boot disk its final once you click enter. you could allso delete that pop up program from boot disk. if you know what folder its in and the dos commaned for deleteing it from boot disk.sorry i dont know that command. have a nice day
