Hi,
Can you load the command line (non-gui) mode? If so, run rstrui.exe from the prompt to initiate System Restore. Usually LKG is the solution as it loads the last backup that logged on successfully, but you've already stated this has failed. System Restore will allow you to load an older point.
Otherwise, you have a damaged registry and are likely looking at a clean install (you can only do a repair install from within a loaded system). Should this be your course of action, simply do not format to avoid loss of data. The existing installation will be moved to a windows.old folder on the root of the drive where you can recover data later. Programs will need to be reinstalled from their original installation media.
