When you are logged in Safe Mode go to "My Computer" right click on your C drive, select Properties from the pull down. When the next window opens select the Tools tab. You should have a button marked Check Now under Error-checking, select the button. Put checkmarks in both options and click start. It will come up with an error saying that it cannot check it now do you want to do it at the next reboot, select yes. Reboot the computer. When it is rebooting it will say that a Disk Check has been scheduled. Don't touch any of the keys. It will take it a few minutes or longer depending on the size of your drive to run. Once it is done it should reboot and come up in normal mode. Its possible you might have to run it a couple of times if there are a lot of problems.
The above commands are used in XP so Vista might be slightly different so adjust accordingly.

If the disk check doesnt work, hit f8 during the boot process and it should give you a menu. Select repair PC or system restore... I havent done it in a while so I forget exactly. If you have set a restore point it should boot into that environment. Did you install something recently?
If you can get in using safe mode, I would uninstall EFI Live and reboot. Go to Microsoft Update and install all of the updates that they recommend. Once you get your system stable, install SuperAntispyware. Update it, run a full scan, quarantine the crap it finds, reboot, set a new restore point then download the latest stable version of EFI Live. Let me know if you need any help, I can probably get in with Teamviewer and help you out.
