Ok, the windows installer shows "preparing to install" and is frozen on the screen. It will blink and start up again however there is no other information.
I'll back track a bit: A few days ago I replaced a printer cartridge in my Epson and when I went to perform a nozzle check, the Epson icon was not in my printers folder. I saw a default printer called "SEWCOIN" and no Epson. Since I have a small network, I checked my other PC (XP Pro) and the same printer was in that folder.
I deleted the SEWCOIN and reinstalled the Epson driver and that's when the Windows Installer message appeared.
I've been dead in the water ever since, when checking the IE icon, the short cut points to My Computer and that's it! No internet access.

Also, I have Office 2003 installed on my system.

I hope this isn't too confusing! Let me know what you think

Regards,

Mike
