Managed to do the trick with the MSU from a temporary folder. Windows tells me IE9 is not installed

Can you now install IE9 ?

A run with sfc /scannow may cure the other problem - do you know how to run it ?

Did that and chkdsk. same issue

Can you run the fixits from another account ?

I’ll give it a shot

I also installed SP1 in that same time? maybe if I uninstall and then re-install that?

Same thing I’m stuck here

Oh well, at least the spyware is gone.

OK lets use a repair tool to see if we can kick start it back into action

Download Windows Repair (all in one) from this site

Install the programme then run

Go to step 2 and allow it to run Disc check

Once that is done then go to step 3 and allow it to run SFC

On the start repairs tab select advanced mode and click start

Select the items as indicated tick restart system when finished
