Try Windows Restore before anything else; if this fails try below, unless it was a failed install in which case try re-installing the program that failed and then un-install it. (Most manufacture has an additional uninstaller on their website)
Just after the main boot screen appears press F8 and choose repair, you will then be given various options to repair, or re-install without losing any programs or data. (It is very seldom you would need to totally re-install Windows 7 afresh unless you decided to start hacking the registry)

Also check for virusses first..
And make a data backup before repairing your stuff, as Bill says, repairing it should work most of the time, also if you have a Windows 7 install DVD there is another option to do a repair install, which also keeps your programs safe.
