Do you still have the recovery seed? If yes you are safe anyway.
Just reinstall the wallet then, or try another PC.

Lets rather wait for an expert to appear to this thread before you do something wrong. (I'd just reinstall everything, then click recover from seed and enter the seed)

Find electrum folder: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Electrum#Wallet_FileCreate a backup of it. Delete 'config' file and 'blockchain_headers' file Then run electrum. If it starts up wait for it to sync up. Report back whether it works properly or not.

try -> start -> System settings* -> Programms* -> uninstall* this should give you a list of all installed programms. * not 100% sure about the names, but something along that line.
