My beautiful computer has decided it won't install games. It gets halfway through then either restarts or throws up a blue screen with OE error on it then restarts.
I've tried reformatting hard drive and re-installing WIndows Me to no avail.
I've removed my recently installed modem and network card (both of which work fine) and then reformatting etc. didn't work.
I've tried installing XP over the top, that gets halfway through and turns into a different blue screen and suggests removing partitions and unhiding files, but I'm sure I don't have any of these.
I've tried the microsoft help pages online, I found one page that said it may be due to people naming hyperlink files the same as DOS files which may have messed it up, but surely re-installation would've fixed that, and they only had the solution for Windows 98 anyway.
Currently I have internet access and can play solitaire fine.

I'm going out of my mind, please help me, any and all suggestions gratefully recieved.
