ok, 2 quick things. i have a laptop, so how would i disconnect each hardware? and also when it was working it sayd the hard drive was full, or close to full. would that make a difference

Your Hard Drive being full probably isn't helping things. I'd try removing all programs that you don't use and cleaning out your Temp Files / Tempory Internet Files / History Files also.
As far as disconnecting hardware on your laptop you might be better off disabling them in Device Manager. Right Click on "My Computer" / Properties / Device Manager / Select the hardware and click on "Properties" / Put a checkmark in the box next to "Disable in this Profile" / Reboot.

Won't Windows Explorer work?
Try starting in Safe Mode to view C Drive / Properties.

when it starts, it shows the desktop like normal, then plays the startup sound. then the task bar flashes and disappears, then it stops and i hit alt+ctrl+del and it shows no programs loaded

At the command prompt for C:\> type " dir " (without the quotes)
the last line will tell how many directories and how many bytes free.

it says i have 387,952,640 bytes free and my hard drive is a 2 GB drive
