Try a Repair Install. Check here for further instructions. Pay very
close attention to Step 3.

The F8 key to accept the install will not work. Do you have
suggestions?

What error(s) do you get?

 

[lowedown]

No errors. The computer does nothing at all after I press F8.

USB or Wireless keyboard perhaps?

Where in that repair install document does it say to press F8? If you follow
the instructions, you should be ok - however, if your installtion is so
blown that setup cannot find a previous version to repair, you are out of
luck.
