windows explorer won't start up?

my windows explorer won't start up at all, so i can't use the computer. I tried to put the recovery cd in, but the cd won't start either it doesn't give me the option to boot the pc from the cd, but goes straight to hardware boot, what doesn't work because windows explorer doesn't start. i am trying to run a diagnostic test. the instructions tell me to hold down the fn key and power on the pc. .my keyboard doesn't have a fn key. what can i do??

    When the first screen comes up when you turn on there should be something that says "boot menu" or something like that. Press the corresponding button then you can select the disc drive to boot from.

    I think the "instructions" should say to press F8 at startup. This isn't for the boot menu but the Windows deal, that's where you select safe mode and such.
