It all started with an autoomatic update to office 2003. After the update,
When I clicked on a link from outlook, outlook would hang for 5 minutes
before the page loaded to a browser, a problem that didn't exist before the
update.
Reading online said the update can't be uninstalled. The only solution was
to upgrade to SP3 or uninstall office completely and reinstall it. I took
this as an opportunity to install office 2007. I tad to be done at sometime,
better now than later. An automatic update to office 2007 created the same
problem I had in 2003. So I decided to go for the sp3.
The installation of sp3 began to hang near the final steps and stayed there
for 3 hrs before it was time for me to leave. I came back to a computer that
was turned off. Booting up, I had a blue screen that said the installation
was interupted and will revert to earlier settings. I can only assume that
means the SP3 didn't successfully install.
After tthe 20 minute wait of this reverting process, I got to the windows
spash screen and then a black screen that never went anywhere else. As of
now, I am into 4 hours of looking at it and still nothing. I have tried
booting from an xp disc and an linux live disc to recover my files and to no
avail, cannot even boot from any cd OR floppy.
What can I do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
