I have a question..

Somehow two very important files got deleted from my
computer, and I was wondering if there was a way to bring
back filed once they have been removed from the recycle
bin? I keep getting these two messages everytime I
restart or turn on the computer (it freezes up several
times a day as of late):

Before Windows ME loads: "Cannot locate/run 'WININIT.EXE'
Press any key to continue."

Once Windows loads, I get a pop-up that says: "Windows
cannot find '/P'. You may have typed the name incorrectly
in the Run dialog, or another program cannot find a system
file. To search for a file, click the Start button, and
then click Search."

What would you recommend that I do about these problems?
If anyone could help me, I would be very appreciative!
Thank you so much!

Amy,

WININIT.EXE
Can you actually get Win Me to boot? If so you can then replace the file
wininit.exe by extracting a new copy from the Win Me cab set.

Wininit.exe is contained in WIN_17.CAB of the Win Me cab set and can be
replaced using MSConfig | General | Extract File ... and following the
prompts. The "cab" files are in the Win9x folder on the Win Me CD and/or in a
sub-folder of Windows\Options. See MS KB129605 - "HOW TO: Extract Original
Compressed Windows Files" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=129605) for
details of how to extract files from the cab set. Wininit.exe belongs in your
windows folder.

Windows cannot find /P
Use MSConfig (Start, Run, enter MSConfig in the box and click OK). Open the
Startup tab and look for an entry that in the right hand column includes /P.
Uncheck this and reboot. Does this help? If found please post details of the
line you uncheck that includes /P.
