stuck on the startup screen
See if you can start it in Safe Mode.
The 'Official' MS method of starting in Safe Mode is by holding down or 'stabbing at' the Ctrl or the F8 keys, BUT you do need to do this IMMEDIATELY you power up your PC and keep 'stabbing' at them before the WinMe splash screen shows. You may even need to keep them pressed throughout the boot process. You could also try the same using the Shift key. Failing that, try booting with the WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk - if your laptop has a floppy drive!! - and see if you can get to the Help page in DOS. Come back with your results.
