shell32.dll missing from my computer, now my pc won't start

[cameronwingrove]

Basically, I was running windows developer preview and I wanted to restore my system to an earlier restore point, therefore I started the restore process. However, the restore process was taking too long, so I cancelled the restore process and restarted my pc. When my pc restarted it gave me an error message: Bootim.exe - system error shelll32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Wghat should i do? P.S. - i have no recovery disks and i am not willing to buy any
THIS IS URGENT!
