Try to boot to safe mode, log in as admin, recover and back up your files,
then do a system restore or a format and reload. Sounds like something is
messed up, but hard to tell because you did'nt give an example of a couple of
the errors.

If you do a format, be aware that ALL of your documents and important
files on the PC will be permanently LOST. You should backup your
important files to a backup medium (such as a CD), and test the medium
to be sure it is readable, before you format the drive.
