Shortly after booting into Win 7 both freeze up, i strongly believe its because of the windows live installer package, and i cant seem to run the add/remove programs in safe mode (with networking).
i started to go back, slowly progessing to a restore point one back and one back and so on..... i was hoping i wouldent have to take it back that far..... but i guess i will have to, and return to this thread to let you know the results
