    No, VMware was the most recent thing I'd tried to install.

    EDIT: I just raped grammar.
    Usually the last thing you did (install) and you start having problem...
    DUH - uninstall and see if the problem goes away.

    I tried putting that line into command prompt with no success.

    And how do I get to SafeMSI.exe? Is it a downloadable program or one located on the computer?
    It's an application, found through the link in the article I posted. However, it doesn't seem to be available at that link, but it is available here.

    Here's the correct reg add code:

    REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /D "Service" net start msiserver

    I booted into safe mode, and before I tried using the application or the reg code, I tried uninstalling WinRAR (that was the least important thing on my computer). I didn't have any problems uninstalling in safe mode. Can you uninstall any applications in safe mode?

    You fail to recognize that I had troubles uninstalling VMware. Kegobeer, I'm not at home right now but will be in a few hours and try then. If I can uninstall other apps, what would you recommend doing? If I can't, what would you recommend doing?

    If you have problems uninstalling a program download Download CCleaner 2.25.1025 - Crap Cleaner is a system optimization tool used by millions across the globe - Softpedia

    Thats should allow you to uninstall it.

    If you installed VMware with only 1gb of ram, thats where I would begin.. if you can boot into safe mode, try a system restore to a point before you installed VMware... also, did you check your specs to make sure that you could successfully run windows7??

    How can I download that in Safe Mode? My computer is having troubles connecting to the internet and I was *hoping* to fix that after I got it working regularly again. Should I just download it on another comp and put it on a stick like someone else here (sorry, I can't remember who right now) suggested?

    I've been running Windows 7 for a couple months at least now.

    First of all, sorry for the late post. Have been busy lately. Second of all, I hadn't set up an image (or whatever you call it, lol) to restore to other than four days ago. Ouch. I tried THAT one anyway and it didn't work.

    Also tried reinstalling Windows, and the installer doesn't recognize any of my partitions. At this point, I just want my computer running Windows 7 again, and if that isn't possible I'll probably have to deal with it.

    So yeah, thanks for all the help and additional assistance would be appreciated.
