Solved Windows vista black screen of death

Hey guys. So this morning, I turned on my computer to find I had an error. There was an error box and I said ok. I forgot what it said (stupid of me). When I clicked ok, the entire desktop and icons disasppeared. Only the background was there. So I decided to push the power button and restart. When it went past the booting screen there was a black screen. They keyboard was still working. The mouse cursor wasn't there, however. Ctr+alt+delete resets the computer and I'm brought back to the booting screen. I googled many solutions but I'm unable to replicate their success. I am unable to run in safe mode, for my stick keys are disabled. I forgot where the installation disc was in the house. I got back after searching for the disc and I saw that the winload.exe is corrupt or missing. Whatever that is. Please help. It would be appreciated.

Found the installation disc and now running system restore.
Check: System restore failed.

Fixed. Thanks for the help .
