One solution that's worked for a few people is to boot with a floppy, and
run

SCANREG /FIX

from the DOS prompt

Reboot when the process is complete

Hi, I thought Internet Explorer was just another program that I could
kill through Add/Remove...but after I chose the "Restore to Previous
Version" option, Windows ME did not boot correctly after the
restart...it's hanging after loading the taskbar. I can't boot to Safe
Mode correctly either...no start button, icons, or taskbar. I've tried
booting from disk, but don't know what to do after getting the command
prompt. Where to go from here? Any help appreciated.
