Do you remember deleting the file?

Try to reboot trough Safe Mode. You do that by rebooting and toggle on the F8 button right in the start. Then, if you are in windows, try to chekc your HDD for errors.

When your computer starts up Hit F8 or which ever key it is on your computer, Select boot in safe mode or last known working condiguration. Simple and easy.

This is what I'd do if I were in your shoes. Open the CD drawer, put in the Windows disc, shut down, then restart the pc. When it asks what you want to do, select repair.
