Shut down and upon boot up start immediately tapping the f8 key to get into safe mode, select "with out internet connection"
Just from what I have read in your post it sounds like you let in a nasty virus. If the laptop runs in safe mode then your hard ware is OK.
To try and fix this, choose a Windows restore point and pick a date before the trouble started. This is not to be confused with a full system restore which would wipe out all your personal information and reinstall the OS.
If you need help with a Windows restore point I will need to know what OS you're running.

Viruses usually infect restore points, so it is futile to use most of the time, and system restore should be turned off and then turned back on once the PC is cleaned of the virus to prevent re-infection later on.
Go to this link and download the software on a PC that is not infected and make the boot CD, once made boot from the CD on the infected PC and let it load Defender, do a full system scan and remove everything it finds, when it is done cleaning, restart normally then download, install and run MBAM, remove everything it finds.

Here is a another link to MBAM from File Hippo, that may be easier to find.
Click on the green download button in the upper right corner of the page. The file is 9.06 MB.
