Fatal errors after installing panopoly

I am running Apache v2.4.4, Drupal 7.22, MySql v5.6.10.1, PHP v5.4.13 on Windows 7, memory 4Gb, 64 bit OS.

This is a localhost website for development purposes.

My Drupal site was running fine until...logged in as an administrator..

I wanted to use the panopoly to put maps on my contact us page and so watched a you tube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hygwi-iKWQ) on how to do this. It suggested that I needed the following:-
"For add new pane" you'll need the Panels IPE module enabled (stands for In Place Editing). For the cool map stuff you'll need the Panopoly modules"

So I added the Panels IPE module and then when choosing the panopoly url for install in 'add module'.
Got this error after the install attempt.
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Apache24\htdocs\drupal\includes\stream_wrappers.inc on line 549. Resolved by editing php.ini, max_execution_time=300 and memory_limit=256.

At this point the site becomes very slow!!! - waiting for localhost for >1min.

Then retried attempting to 'add panopoly module' but get this error...

I navigated all the Panopoly menu options and they allowed me to go into all the options but I got a warning saying 'You are not authorized to access this page.' when on Panopoly Pages and selecting the '/content/[node:title]' link.

I suspected that the panopoly install didnt happen cleanly and that I needed to uninstall and start again.

However I first tried to run updates tab against the modules...

I then got error installing updates as it could not create /css under the folders sites/all/modules/panopoly/modules/contrib/admin_views or sites/all/modules/panopoly/modules/contrib/views so I manually added admin_views and views folders TO sites/all/modules/panopoly/modules/contrib
-the system remained/went into maintenance mode
Then I got errors trying to load the 'modules' menu option see below. At this point I suspected that panopoly was not correctly configured

Then, restarted web server.

Then, it tried to do updates again...then error
File Transfer failed, reason: Cannot copy C:/Windows/Temp/update-extraction-a2c97398/features/API.txt to /Apache24/htdocs/drupal/sites/all/modules/panopoly/modules/contrib/features/API.txt

When I reboot, start apache and go to localhost/drupal - I now get this set of warnings on the homepage (see screen print attachment).

Also, the error.log states -

If I ignore the above error and select Modules I get a blank screen with just this error in the browser

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'C:\Apache24\htdocs\drupal/sites/all/modules/panopoly/modules/contrib/views/plugins/export_ui/views_ui.inc' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\Apache24\htdocs\drupal\sites\all\modules\ctools\includes\plugins.inc on line 475.

hit the back button gives same error.

Close/reopen the browser, go to localhost/drupal and select Panopoly from menu
...
Home » Administration » Panopoly » Panopoly Settings >> Panopoly Admin. I can 'save configuration' without errors.
There does not appear to be an option to uninstall panopoly anywhere other than within modules, which I cant access.

Error when accessing 'content' menu item as below:-
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'C:\Apache24\htdocs\drupal/sites/all/modules/panopoly/modules/contrib/views/includes/view.inc' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\Apache24\htdocs\drupal\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 3080

What can I do to fix this? ...
Do I try and delete the panopoly install - if so, how, if I cant uninstall via the website. Should I just delete all files and folders from C:\\Apache24\\htdocs\\drupal\\sites\\all\\modules\\panopoly. Worried that such an action would make things worse.

Can I resolve my problem, through less drastic action. I suspect that other modules that require panopoly will start erroring if I just delete it.
Ultimately, I want to use panopoly, so will want to get this fixed.
I am very new to drupal and so need a bit of help resolving this problem.
It is all very frustrating. Hope I have posted this issue to the correct place.
