    You should be able to restore your Operating System to an earlier point.
    In your case, you will only be able to go back 48 hrs, if at that time, you either manually created a Restore Point, or the software that you were installing did one for you.

    1 Click Start / Control Panel / System and Maintenance / Back Up
    and Restore Center    ..
    2 In the Tasks list, click Repair Windows using System Restore.
    3 Click Continue in the User Account Control (UAC) dialog box asking for
    permission to run the application.
    4 Click Next in the System Restore window to view the most recent restore
    points in chronological order.
    5 Select the Show restore points older than 5 days checkbox to view the
    complete list of restore points.
    6 Select a restore point. Try to restore from the most recent restore point.
    If this fails to correct the problem, try the next oldest restore point until
    the issue is resolved. Any software installed after the selected restore point
    will need to be reinstalled.
    7 Click Next→ Finish.
    8 When prompted, click Yes.
    9 After System Restore finishes collecting data, the computer restarts.
    10 After the computer restarts, click OK.
    To change the restore point, you can either repeat the steps using a different
    restore point, or you can undo the restoration.
    If you encounter any error messages during the restore process, follow the
    prompts on the screen to correct the error.
