It would be helpful to know what operating system you are using.\n\nI suggest rebooting in safe mode and uninstalling McAfee.  Then try to reboot.

When your comp. is starting up press F8, and then log on i safe mode, and the try to make one new one or configure a new one.

You can try booting from a XP installation cd and try repairing the system. Chances are that youre hard disk is damaged, try running a disk diagnose program and see if this is the case. Hope not, cause you'll have to get another one then

You didn't give enough details.  How far into the bootup can you get?  Is it a power problem?  Is the light on the front of your PC on?  Is there an error message on the screen?  Does anything show up on the screen?  What happened right before the problem started?  Was some new hardware of software installed or removed?  Do you have virus protection?  Do you have your Windows recovery disks or the original Windows CD?  Post the question again and include as many details as possible.  Computer problems are too complex so anything you can add will help.

OK you do not provide a lot of information as to your system.\n\nFirst boot into safe mode by pressing the F8 key once the computer starts to boot. Choose command prompt only and see if it still shuts down.  If it does not that is good.  if it still shuts down, open the case and remove any expansion cards you may have installed except for the video card iof you have one.  Remove and put back in the memeory.  Look for lots of dust in the system also if there is a lot of dust then take the system outside and blow all the dust out with either canned air or an air compessor use care  not to blow too hard.  Pay attention to the poser supply.  After cleaning the computer out and reseating/removing all of the cards and memory restart the computer in safe mode and see if it stays on.  If so it is probably fixed.\n\nIf it still shuts down it is probably a bad power supply or the processor is overheating.  if you feel confident you can reseat the processor and replace the power supply.  If not ask the local computer nerd at work or a friend for help.\n\n\nIf the computer still shuts down it is probably something major.\n\n\nTo make sure a virus is not the problem just disconnect the power cable to the hard drive and boot the system.  if it will stay on but shuts down with the drive booting then there is a good chance you have a virus.  Do you have antivirus software installed and up to date?\n\nhave you tried system restore going back a week or so?\n\nRemoving a virus is a whole different question

If you have a restore disk that came with your computer, you might try running it to get them both working again.  Another thing is to use a bootup floppy or CD to bootup computer then try reloading your operating system.  You may have to change the boot order in bios before you can boot with a CD.  You can change the boot order by using system setup when the computer starts to boot. You didn't say which file was missing.  You may have to reformat the harddrive and then reload the operating system and your software.  Just depends on what is wrong with them.

go to "run" on the "start menu" and type in "msconfig" without the quotes. Then launch "system recovery". It should be on a button near the botton. =P
