This isn't a direct solution to your now, but it is a way to prevent this
happening to you again (unwelcome upgrades/installs sort of thing).
That is one wonderful use of applications like Acronis True Image (or Ghost,
if you don't mind Symantec on your PC) (especially if you have moved My
Documents and your email store (easy to do) to a separate partition and have
a second hard drive installed for backups and partition image files). You
can restore your entire C partition (programs, registry, every byte on the
HDD partition) back to its exact state before you ever installed EA7 or
whatever (and your documents & email folders won't be touched if they are on
a different partition).
I have also used Ghost, but I made the decision with my new PC to not let
any Symantec product on it because they are so difficult to get rid of.
There is even a free imager called Bootit NG, but it is not easy enough to
use, for me.
Personally, I wouldn't be without imaging software (I don't "clone" though -
I create an image file of the C: partition and keep nearly all of them,
since my backup drive is so big. You can also put them on DVD. I still
have the file from my original OS install which I could go back to at any
time - or halfway between then and now).
You can restore the C partition (using any image file you have saved) from a
bootable Acronis CD/DVD even if Windows is completely dead and won't boot at
all (Ghost will do the same). It's a very secure feeling. I noticed that
newegg has a great special at the moment on the latest version of
AcronisTrue Image. Some websites have older versions of pgms like Ghost
that are very cheap and perfectly fine for the purpose.
Good Luck,

Subject: [PCSOFT] Why won't IE7 talk to me?
Click on IE7 to get on the internet and most of the time I
get the error message “IE can not display the webpage.” Yet if I go over and
click on Firefox 3.0, I get on the internet right a way and everything is
fine.
Both use Verizon Fi0S for the provider (home.verizon.yahoo.com).
I’ve reloaded IE7 a couple of times without any success. I'd go back to IE6
if I knew how.
I’m running a Dell 8200 Dimension machine with a Gig of
memory and 49GB free hard drive space,
Windows XP SP3 (although had the same problem in SP2) and Verizon FiOS for a
provider.
