Nestor -
Here are a few things I would try. (There may be some more experienced
folks to advise you more appropriately.)
* Take a look a your error logs (both php and iis). Maybe there's
something more there to help you out.
* Make a backup of your entire Drupal directory before you make any
more changes. Export your current database. Save these both
somewhere else.
* add lightbox2 back to the modules directory. Run update and see
if that helps. (If it does then you can uninstall this the
appropriate way.)
* switch to one of the core themes, such as garland. The quickest
way for me is to just edit the settings.php file for your site.
At the bottom there is a section for overrides. You just
uncomment three lines and save. This will override any theme
settings you have in the database. It should look something like
this:
* Remove the leading hash signs to enable.
*/
# $conf = array(
# 'site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
# 'theme_default' => 'garland',
Uncomment the lines with $conf, 'theme_default', and );. This will
override your theme settings. Does your site display now? (Once
you get your site working, then you can comment these out again
and let your theme take back over.)
* disable/uninstall all your modules, (if this is the only site
running on your drupal installation - remove everything from your
sites/all/modules folder), clear your cache, run update, are you
getting errors reported to the screen or to your error logs? If
not, then start installing modules again. If so, then see the
next item.
* Of course, with Drupal looking for another Drupal installation
nested inside itself, you really should reinstall properly and try
pulling the database into that. I'd probably make a second
installation of Drupal, modify the sql to get rid of the offending
items. This could mean manually disabling all contrib modules.
Create a new site folder with the elements from the backup of your
site, create a new database, import the old database you had
exported and modified earlier. See what happens.
I'm not sure if any of this helps. It's just a few steps that I'm
thinking of off the top of my head.
