Long story short, I downloaded a new version of HP's QuickPlay and now, every time I turn on my computer:
-It boots into quickplay, which does not play my music (but it can locate it on the computer), dvds, or anything else
-If I try entering safe mode, I get a blue screen
-If I try backing up to the last safe boot mode, i get the error message

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
C:\windows\system32\config\system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-Rom. Select "r" at the first screen to start repair.

I found the following site which tries to solve my problem:

But in Option 3, the step asking me to CD C:\system~1\_resto~1 does not work, and when i try to CD to C:\system~1, i get the error "Access is Denied."
How to I "allow" access? Is there a sudo-type command for windows?
Somebody told me something using the SET command, but in my Recovery Console, it says SET has been disabled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
