IE7 just killed my HTPC

for whatever reason, I allowed windows update to install IE7 on my HTPC
(i don't surf on it, so shouldn't have bothered, but whatever)
anyways
to finish the update, it forces you to reboot
upon reboot, my onboard NIC has now poofed
I can't even see it in the hardware config
any ideas other than re-install windows? (which I'm probably going to do shortly)

check the bios for what?
nothing unusual there, and you normally can't see nic's there, no?

If it's onboard, it will be in your bios as a setting to enable or disable it.

remove IE7 and don't install it for another good 6 months.

well, yeah, let's not be completely retarded
the NIC is obviously enabled in bios

re-installed MCE
no NIC
looking at the NIC itself, when it's plugged in it's flashing orange
manual says that means it's communicating with the LAN, but obviously it never goes green to indicate that it's done something
anyone have any experience RMA'ing a product with MSI?
