System Restore & Windows ME System Recovery Cds :(:(:(
 

OK - armed with the very little information you've given us, can't help you
with System Restore nor where you can get replacement Recovery CD's -
however the following *might* help you to make at least some progress and a
fresh start :-

Assuming the following were supplied and actually installed onto the hard
disk by your OEM's version of WinMe. Look
for a folder containing the full set of WinMe installation files, which are
'usually' located at Windows\Options\Install or CABS.

The folder you need contains a whole series of .CAB files (including
WIN_8.CAB thru' WIN_22.CAB and other CABS). Depending on the OEM, these
files might even be in a different location (if provided) so you may have to
search for them. The folder (approx. 100-150 MB) should also contain a
setup.exe file (and *might* even contain hardware drivers!) and more
importantly, a file called CLEANHD.TXT, which you should print out and read
very carefully. (CLEANHD.TXT can also be viewed and printed from :-"Windows
Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271673

If the OEM has provided these files/folder - and not all do - then continue
with the following suggested procedure. You should copy (burn) the contents
of the folder to a CD - and you will also need to make a note of the 25
digit key code supplied with the computer. You can find this code which is
located in the Registry by searching your Registry (using regedit.exe) for
ProductKey.

Armed with you newly burned CD, Product Key and the CLEANHD.TXT file, you
are in a position to completely re-install a brand-new 'clean' version of
WinMe. Remember though, you will eventually need to do the Windows Updates
for WinMe from the MS WU site (whilst they're still there!!). Any other
'special' hardware drivers (e.g. Video Card) which you may need can usually
be downloaded from the hardware manufacturers web sites.

You might also find that (free) utilities such as Belarc Advisor:-
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
should help identify hardware such as your Video Card - It will also
identify the 25 digit ProductKey.

Good luck

Mart

In addition to Mart's post knowing what problem you are trying to solve
would also help as it could be you don't need to reinstall Win Me.

Ok Mike..I wanted to ""un-install"" MSN AND RESTALL IT. I "un-installed" it,
but when I went to re-install it with Internet Explorer, it wouldn't
re-install. :( "NOTHING"! I was sooo mad!! Now I have nothing. No MSN, no
Internet program like MSN to communicate with people. :( I want to give up
MSN but love the browser. And am afraid to transger to another ISP in fear of
loosing all my e-mail and addresses (I have too many)
Anyway, back to my problem. I want to to a System Restore but it won't take
me to any other date other than December. I need to go back to at least
November 1st. or 2nd. of 2006. In other word's, I just want to go back to
that day. I want my p.c. "normal" again. OH! MSN won't install. it download's
about hald the way, and stop's!! So does Internet Explorer. Please write to
me Mike at and let's talk there. Thank's so much ....
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! :(:(:(:(

Win Me isn't a program. It's an operating system. You can't uninstall
Win Me unless you upgraded to Win Me from a previous operating system,
chose to retain that earlier operating system when upgrading and have not
since deleted the files containing that earlier operating system.

So once again if I may. What is the problem you are trying to fix?

Rolling back a system five or six weeks is for the most part pointless so
it is I feel a good thing that you have no system restore checkpoints from
early November.

MSN. By MSN do you mean MSN Messenger or MSN Explorer or what? I'm sorry
but without a little more detail it is very difficult to provide any
sensible advice. What was the problem you were trying to solve and with
which program. I'm sorry but saying MSN doesn't really help me.
