Windows Me Problem

[boyzeee]

before you reinstall try this, download the winme bootdisk from the site in Smurfette's post, boot your pc from the disc and when you get to the command prompt (A:\ ) type this C:\scanreg /restore and it should give a list of dates when the pc booted, choose a date that you know the pc was working. let it do its thing then reboot normally. If that doesnt work boot again from the bootdisk and when you get to the command prompt type C:\scanreg /fix and it should then rebuild the registry for you. note that you need to put a space between scanreg and /fix or /restore. Another thing you could do start the pc and just after the initial bios screen but before the windows screen hit the control key and a boot menu will come up, choose safe mode, let it boot, ignore the system restore option (never had good results with it in me ) then click start>programs>accessories>system tools>scandisc. tick the box where it says to automatically fix errors and start. when it has finished reboot normally. if none of the above sort it then i think it will a case of re-installing windows



edit... if it says bad file name when you try scanreg you may have to type this first at command prompt.. c:\cd windows and enter and then type scanreg /fix or /restore

I had this problem before with my old ME comp, when I pressed alt+ctrl+delete it said like 'msgsrv32 [not responding]', so I just reinstalled Windows and that helped.

he has an old compaq pc with 62mb of ram xp will not be a happy bunny on his system, ask around your friends or ask your family to ask people at work etc if someone has a copy of winme or 98 you can borrow, someone is bound to have a disc floating around somewhere, boot with the start disc and select "start my computer with cdrom support" and then type E:\setup

Cabs files are already on the machine and should be at :-
C:\Windows\Options\Install

I have told you once go get a bootdisc from http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

Put the thing in and when you get to the A:\> type C: then press enter at C:\

C:>\cd\Windows\Options\Install then press enter
C:\>Windows\Options\Install now type setup press enter and away you go.
Just one more thing DO you have your key code ?
If not your back to square one.
