Welcome to Outfront and Oh Dear. It sounds very much like you downloaded a virus or something totally incompatible with your machine.

As you can't get in by normal methods the only thing I can think of is to use a boot disk, you do have one? Make sure it's not writeable.

If possible use a friend's computer to get hold of an up to date viruschecker and stick that on disk, make it non-writeable, then run it through.

If none of that works then you may have to reformat and reinstall.

For future reference, never run a downloaded exe file without virus checking it first and make sure the virus signatures are up to date before you do.

Looks like it's a new variant on one of these.

Like this one.

Doesn't look like it does much damage. Either there's something else or what you tried to install wasn't right for your machine. What was it?
