Corrupt registry

Please help. I used Revo Uninstaller to get rid of a beta version of Opera browser. It also took out the latest Opera browser and, apparently, some critical registry items. Now can't install the browser, nor can I use some IE browsers, or system restore. What should I do?? Please explain simply, as I am a novice. Thank you, if you can help.

    Back up your data and do a quick restore - power on, wait for the Dell screen and press CTRL-F11. You'll lose everything that wasn't on the system when it came out of the box, so back up first.
