I just got a brand new desktop computer the other day. I don't know the specs (not my thing) but it's a PC running Windows 7. It's been experiencing random Blue Screens of Death since we set it up. My husband thinks he knows what's causing it, but hasn't had time to mess with it. (Been traveling out of town) It's infrequent enough that I can live with it, and just save documents frequently. It happens maybe 1-2 times a day...and it doesn't seem to be any particular activity causing it. (It even happened once in the night when the computer was supposed to be "asleep".)

ANYhow...that isn't what I'm looking for help with.

Here is my immediate annoyance.

I was installing a game. (As if I have time to play...but I can dream, can't I?) When the install is about 2/3 finished, I get the damned blue screen. After the reboot, I try to continue the install. I can't do anything with it. When I put the game disc in, it just gives me the "play" menu. I obviously can't play a game that is only 2/3 installed. But the "install" prompt is now gone. I figured I'd UNinstall everything that was done and start over....only, apparently, that isn't an option either. The "uninstall" button on the play menu is grayed out. And in my computer control panel, the game isn't even listed, so there's nothing to click on to tell it to uninstall.

I can't play, I can't install, I can't uninstall. How the heck am I supposed to fix this?
