ok, so first off im an idiot, i decided that i wanted to have a new cool boot screen rather than the crappy windows one. so i went and dowloaded Style XP, and a new boot scrren and applied it. and then the next t9ime i started up the computer at the OS selection menu (i think thats what it is lol) i had a third option(i usually have two, window xp home edition, and microsoft windows.) the third said microsoft windows xp (boot screen). so i chose that but then a blue boot screen came up and it said OS/2 Warp, then the comp restarted :S. so i had to boot in safe mode, and here i am. i have tried to include as much information as possible at the moment, if you need any more let me know.

You "foobarred" the boot.ini file? The boot screen as you called it would be the F8 start menu where you can also choose the "safe mode/command prompt only" option to manually start the system restore process. Now write this down somewhere. You simply type in the command "%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe" at the command prompt there and press enter. That will get the process going there.
