I have been in to the question you mention, but is this restore tool
mentioned, the one that is on the computer for restoring, if it is then this
wasn't working before this happened to the computer. There was some problem
with the memory and there wasn't enough to run the restore tool. I was
trying to sort this out, but the young boy was over zealous and tried to get
some memory by deleting a large file. So is there any other way of doing
this???

"Fortunately System Restore can often be run from a command prompt when you
cannot start Win Me or even boot into Safe Mode.. What is involved is
booting to DOS using a floppy and editing C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI such that
the
line shell=explorer.exe reads instead shell=progman.exe. After removing the
floppy see if you can boot the PC so that Program Manager is launched after
which you may be able to run System Restore. For full details see MS KB

My neighbours son had a new game for Christmas, went to put it on and the
computer said, not enough memory, so in his haste to get this game on he
went
into winme folder and deleted a file. Now we can't get the computer to
load
up past the password page. I have tried to load in safe mode, but nothing.
I
have tried putting the retore disc in but it won't recognise it.
Any suggestions
