1. Try booting to Last Known Good Configuration. Do this the same way
you got to the menu for Safe Mode - by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as
the computer is starting up.
2. If this doesn't work, you can try a Repair Install:

3. If you format your hard drive, you will lose everything on it. If you
have files that are important that you didn't back up, you should
retrieve them first. Based on your posts, your best course of action at
this point is to take the machine to a good local professional (not a
BestBuy or CompUSA type of store) because I'm not sure your skillset is
adequate to save your files and the situation. I am not saying this to
hurt your feelings; I'm just being practical.
