Whatever the results of your experiences with the site to which I sent you,
I'd be grateful for careful notes taken along the way - either in case of
success, or even more especially, failure

DETAILS are the things which make systems repairable - and the more detail
the better (even if it's tedious, check the spelling, as one letter wrong
can make a world of difference in the potential fix!)

Good Luck

I am working on my old computer which has Windows ME as
its OS. I think I deleted a system file because now it
will not boot up at all (not even in Safe Mode). I
have
the original Window's ME CD. My question is: How do I
reinstall Windows ME from the CD or do I have to copy
it
to a floppy disc and then use that? and if so how do I
use a floppy to reinstall the OS? Or does anyone have
any
other suggestions? Thanks for any suggestions. C

Hi,

I had the same problem as you where my OS crashed and I
could not get on. We had a computer person look at it
and he had to install Windows 2000. But here is my
problem, I lost everything even Microsoft Word.

Question....Did you get Windows ME to work yet??? Or did
you load and more recent version??

I'm trying to contact Microsoft but I'm not having any
luck.

Please reply to this email if you have any updates

Thanks
.



I am going to try getting a boot disk off the internet
and then using system restore as per the website that
Noel Paton recommended, it is a microsoft website. If
that does not work then I will have to try reinstalling
windows ME from my CD. I will let you know how it went
maybe in a few days time.
