That is the order in which I lost function on a PC yesterday. First off IE would open home page but would hang if I asked it to do anyhting else. Then Explorer started crapping out. Then my attempts to uninstall IE through the CP were unsuccessful – it just wouldn’t go away. So I decided to bite the bullet and re-install Windows.
The installation got about halfway through and hung. Any attempts to reboot etc. just restart windows installation at the same point (where it hangs).
What can I do next? System restore? or what? and how?
