Missing registry files // cant start all windows programs!!

Hey guys!

Im new to this forum but i hope it goes well (sorry for my poor English).

I have a problem after running a registry cleaner program who removed
registry files i needed to start up my pc properly...

Now my windows starts and all but i cant use the mice or the keyboard and
its very few programs witch starts. I've tried to run the pc in safe mode and
normal but none of them work properly and i have tried to run the system
recovery from the windows dvd.
But the windows dvd can't find my vista 64 bit.

This is my computer:
Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2x GeForce 8800GT Sli Harddisks: 763 GB Memory: 4094 MB OS:
Windows Vistaâ„¢ Home Premium 64 bit

I hope you can understand my problem (if not just ask) and i would be realy
happy if you could help me.

Best regards,
Memon / Niklas

And this is a perfect example of why not to use registry cleaners. If you
*can* run this program (since you say you do have some programs that
start), definitely use its Undo feature.

If you can't, then you need to run Startup Repair from the Vista DVD. You
may need to load drivers for your SATA controller.

Otherwise, back up your data from outside Windows by either pulling the
drive and attaching it to a working computer or by booting with a Linux
Live CD and do a clean install of Windows.

Or take the machine to a professional computer repair shop. I don't
recommend using a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.

You get the drivers from either the computer mftr.'s website if you have an
OEM machine (HP, Dell, etc.) or the motherboard mftr.'s website. You can
have the drivers on a USB flash drive. After you boot with the Vista DVD,
look for the link to Add Drivers and click it.
