Sorry i am a bit confused. Did you select "safemode" from the list?

If you did. it would take you into windows environment back. The normal screen you usually see and safe mode will be written on the 4 corners of the screen
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Skywalker5(m): 2:06pm On Aug 17, 2012
Click Start, click Run, type "%Windir%\system32", and then click OK.

Find the file Winspool.drv file Right-click and then click Rename.
Type "winspool.drv.old", (just add ".old" to it) and then press ENTER.
Restart the computer.

what can you access now? Can you access "my computer"?
if you cant, Move your mouse around ,click and let me know what you can access?

This is quite strange if you cant do anything in "safemode". You might have to re-install but that's the last option

To be honest, you better off given it to someone who knows more about resolving computer issues as you will need to boot your computer in command prompt,check if your computers supports usb without windows and use some command instructions to copy your files TO usb

Click start ---Right click "My computer"------select properties

It will bring out an interface which when you scroll down, you'll see a button which will ask you to activate windows.

If there is no product key there, check under your laptop or around the side, you find a sticker that has the window's logo on it. the product key is on that sticker,type it in and activate.

If you cant find the activation key, contact your dealer

I guess the guy must have reloaded the system but on installation chose to activate later..the version of the os may have changed from the product key he has under d system..ie home premium normally ships wit basic system,he may have an ultimate now
