    windows media upgradeed: same error
    ie upgrade failed: unknown error
    winamp: already upto date

    the repair install is out of the question as I don't have the windows disks, so i'm guessing, i'm a little bit screwed ;(

    you can always just borrow an xp disk from someone for the repair install.

    if your in xp, just do a system restore, its simple

    start>all programs>accessories>system tools> system restore

    this will take you through the proccess, you pick a time you want to go back to, and it does it, if you did any work after the time you want to go to, then put it on a flash drive, external harddrive, flopy disk, or cd

    cause realy, all that should not be like that, i dont see what the problem could be idk
