hey guys...
i deleted some files from the add/remove files, and once i was finished decided to restart the computer, and after i got to the vista image, it went to the blue welcome screen, and showed the blue loading circle, and normally i'll see a black screen for a breif moment, and then my desktop, but now it takes a very long time to bring me to my desktop... i called dell tech support, and they said it's not a hardware problem, b/c we ran a diagnostics, and they believe it's software problem. the only things i know i deleted that could have effed me over were:
microsoft visual c++
microsoft visual j.net (something like that)
apple mobile something
win.rar
