Messed around with regedit, now can't boot up

I messed around in the registry editor and accidentally deleted some files. Now my computer gets stuck before password screen. I've tried safe mode and would ideally like to do a system restore. Any thoughts?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

It was running on Vista. I have a w7 disk and much prefer that for an OS. Would it be possible to install 7 and keep all files and programs intact?

you can try to boot up with a live cd from windows and repair the OS.

Kind regards,
