Try the recent settings choice. That will fix any problem a recent software install might have fixed.
I'm pretty sure that God doesn't have anti virus support. I'm not sure why you think a church laptop can't be infected. Any email or innocent looking website can infect a computer.

If what Sinan O said doesn't work try booting to your Windows cd and instead of choosing r for repair, hit enter to install Windows. At some point during the install process it should ask if you want to repair your current version of Windows or install a new version. Select repair and it will completely reinstall Windows without you loosing your data.
Since you have a Toshiba laptop, you may not have a Windows cd to boot from. Instead you'll have a recovery disk. Try putting that in and booting to it. It should give you options to reinstall everything. Just don't choose destructive recovery, that will erase everything.

does it have Internet access?
if so then you could very well have a virus
just because you use it for church does not mean it's exempt from virus's, as long as you're connected to a network and that network has access to the outside world ( the net ) you can get infected

I think some files are damaged. Try to boot from windows cd. Then, press r for repair. Then press C for Console. When you see the console type 'chkdsk /r'. That will repair the files.
