How do I remove Windows 7 Loader Xe?

I'm not sure how this happened but apparently I downloaded some kind of loader. Now every time I start my computer the Boot Manager asks me to choose between Windows 7 and Windows 7 Loader XE which I desperately want to remove since I never wanted it in the first place. I've tried System Restore twice and it doesn't help at all-- the Boot Manager remains asking me to choose between them. It only shows up when I right-click Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > System and Recovery. It doesn't appear anywhere else and no one online has been helpful in explaining how to get rid of this.

To make matters worse, ever since the Loader appeared my trial of Microsoft Word has been damaged so that when I try to open it the program claims not to be installed when it was but alos won't allow me to uninstall it either from the Control Panel.

Can someone please help me with this issue? Also, I'd be grateful if any answers you gave were extremely dumbed-down. I've already messed up my computer enough, I don't need to make a mistake and make it irreparable.

    You can run a fixmbr and it will restore the master boot record to its default as this is where the windows loader xe is stored anyways

    I think it's just a hacked version of Windows 7? I didn't have any idea that I was at the time. I thought I was downloading something entirely different. I already have a genuine Windows 7-- I don't need a freakin' hacked version of it. Does anyone know of another way I can remove it? Because so far I'm thinking I'm left with little other choice but to reboot my computer from scratch. I'd like to avoid that if I can.

    Alright, I downloaded the Daz Loader and reinstalled it and then uninstalled it-- no change. Same problem.

    Exactly how many loaders did you use? If you use Daz loader and press uninstall it will remove all pevious loaders or you can go to repository seciton 6-H and use cmds to clear any loaders then just use Daz loader again.
