Nope, I'm totally Fubar'd.
Now I get error code 80073712 when I go to the error log. Basically says the system store is corrupt. Look at the date in the pic too, probably not having the time/date set correctly didn't help
I think the problem started with an update to Net 3.5.1 which never has gone through. Had this problem years ago but back then you could actually contact MS and they sent me a net file fixer that cleared the problem. Now they want $259 to talk to you for 4 to 8 hours!!!!
Anyway, going to try the "upgrade" routine again with the OS, then if that doesn't work my only options are a) live with it or b) reinstall and spend HOURS downloading updates and my games
I have a headache
