  UUff.. ouch.. have you considered moving somewhere else? Two reasons:

   1-The day you start experiencing "unexpected" behaviour/erors in such 
a Microsoft environment, it'll cost *much* more than £500. Not matter 
wich company do you have behind. Not to mention that to solve one of 
those x-files(*) you must be really good (making the assumption that 
it's actually possible to be a good technician in the Microsoft world).
  2- It's just not fun.


(*) X-files is like what happened to me several years ago: Access 
stopped working (a popup appeared complaining that I had no license). 
Other apps were working fine (Word, Excel). The only solution was to 
reinstall Office, but *before reinstalling*, you *had* to delete a 
specifict TrueType font in the windows/system/fonts dir. Then Access 
would run again. Just not fun.
