have you checked Msn Forums? although it sounds like a problem that will only be solved by a repair of windows.

Did 6.0 work? if so use that. 7.0 has nothing perticularly great

When it restarts, do you see a blue screen for a split second before it restarts?

Wextract cleanup is a valid Windows process used for cleaning up files created by installers. It will run once on boot after a program installation.

Does your system meet the minimum requirements?

   * Multimedia PC
   * Pentium 233-MHz processor or better (500MHz recommended)
   * Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium, or Windows XP operating system
   * Minimum 64MB of RAM (128MB recommended)
   * Up to 50MB of hard disk space needed to install — after install, up to 15MB may be needed
   * 256-color VGA or higher resolution graphics card (SVGA recommended)
   * Minimum 800x600 screen resolution
   * Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 6 SP1 or later must be installed on your computer, though it does not need to be your default browser

Just a thought.
