We have a PC w/Windows ME someone gave to us. More and
more frequently now, when we boot up it always gets stuck
after the Windows ME logo comes up at a blank screen with
the cursor up in the upper lefthand corner and we have to
power down and back up again (sometimes 2 or 3 times).

When we do get on (using the #1 choice of 'Normal' logon
when prompted) the display settings are larger than we
keep them normally. Also, sometimes after that, the
desktop screen will blink repeatedly until we move the
mouse and sometimes freeze. We have downloaded and
used 'Stinger''Spyware''Adaware' to get rid of hijack,
trojan and spyware files but nothing helps...appreciate
some input.

Thx, M


Either use your restore CD to take your machine back to
day 1, or go out and spend $100.00 on XP and install that.
I'm all of a sudden having problems on my machine with Me
and I'm going to try the restore CD first. If that doesn't
work, I've been told to throw the damned box out the
window and get a new Dell, Compac, or anything besides
emachines.

Good luck
