Help!

Events: I attempted to backup with Time Machine. Had an error and attempted to close the progress box, which did not go away. Computer would not shut down with the progress box still up, so I went to force quit Finder. Success, the computer immediately quit the progress box and shut down.

Now I cannot restart my computer. I get the 'donnnng' at startup, the spinning wheel, and then the computer stalls on varying shades of blue & grey screens forever.

I have used 'repair permissions' and 'repair disk' with success (or 'ok') on both.

Is this a problem with my Finder?

Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thank you for your time!

In reading some other threads, it seems like I should consider archive and install as next step... any thoughts?
