Hi, ive been a complete idiot and now everythings a total mess and im in dire need for help. Ive put together a pc build and installed 64bit windows 7 home premium without any major issues. However, i hadnt installed a network card and so i bought a TP-link Wireless Networking PCI express Adapter (model no. TL-WN881ND) which is compatible with windows 7, put it into the proper PCI-express slot and then booted up windows 7 again, only this time it didnt start up properly and instead went straight to startup reparation which said windows couldnt be repaired this way. I fixed this (or at least i thought so at the time) by installing windows 7 again with the Networking card already inserted (idiotic perhaps) and i didnt encounter any problems. Thinking i was past the issue, i installed all the drivers for the MoBo etc. and had even installed microsoft office, steam and a few games as well as successfully booted windows 7 several times when starting the computer up. Then, after having downloaded one a driver update upon shutting down i started the computer up again only to find that it went straight to startup repair like previously with the same outcome. This is my current problem after several noobie attempts to fix things myself:

I have tried a system recovery with two different dates (the oldest and most recent) but none worked. I have tried going to the commandprompt from the repair option on the install disc and typing "FixMbr", "FixBoot" and "RebuildBcd" (on the last command i had to choose whether to include two installations of windows i chose no. 2) and then did a startup reparation (twice) detecting no problems and then tried restarting the computer. This time an error window popped up which said that the critical startup file C:/Windows/system32/oleacc.dll was damaged or at least didnt work properly but i quit this, which took me to the login screen but logging in didnt work and the same error window popped up. I tried this again and this time the "RebuildBcd" gave me only 1 option, a third time (just typing in "RebuildBcd" to satisfy my curiosity) it gave 0 options. However, when starting the computer up it had the opposite effect and gave me increasing no. of win7 installations that i could choose to boot.
If anyone could tell me what caused (or what factors contributed to) this messy issue and how to fix it i would be BEYOND grateful because something like this is what id fear would happen and i dont think i will sleep properly till my windows is working as it should again.
