if you have a vista installation disc you could refer to the following link to help you out or you could do a clean install but you will lose any saved files.

failing that, with the vista DVD, put it in the drive, reboot and boot from the DVD, you'll have an option to do a startup repair, try that.

sounds like a reinstal or a restore from a backup would work well here.
