I got the advice to uninstall IE7 first..
So after a Succesful SP3 instalation, I went on installing it...

I THOUGH it went fine.. But appairently it didn't.
I got this link to the M$ support site.
It gave me some pointers on how to install it with succes.
And I followed it... Sort of it seems.

What happened..?
Somewhere in the attempts to make sure IE7 got installed, I appairently F*ed up some settings or so and basicly Killed all network connectivity.

And from how it is looking now it seems I'm forced to utilize the Laptops System restore partition to make the entire system working again,
And reinstall every app and game afterwards.

I'm currently posting this on a college Desktop. (hence the obvious spelling errors)

So what's left for me to do now.....?
Well.. *sigh* I now need to save my "My Documents" folder on my D drive.
Make a written inventory of the (in the "Program Files" folder) installed Applications,
Check what's defenitely importand and what is less importand.

And then reinstall the WHOLE lot....
That's 1.5 years of installed programs, games and settings..
(that will take me weeks to accomplish!!)

So it seems I will not be able to get online that often till it's all fixed.

See you guy's (and girls) sometime soon (I really hope that) And let's hope all ends well..

*SIGH!*
I had this problem 2 when i installed sp3, all i did (and it worked) was removing this new login that windows added to my user list
after i did that... all stuff worked good again
