WinMe won't start
Not even in safemode.
Did boot to Norton emergency disk. Says no viruses. Can get to DOS but forget how to get back to Windows (and not sure it would even work if did) Error messages include: OE:0187:BFF8E64B some mention: kernal32.dll msgsrv32 Any suggestions on what to try next? Thanks |

WinMe won't start
Not even in Safe Mode?? - (Ctrl or F8 or Shift key(s) at bootup)
You don't give error reports? symptoms? conditions? etc.? OK - assuming that no matter what you try, you still can't get into Safe Mode, then the following assumes that you hadn't picked up a virus - you may first need to check using a DOS virus checker e.g from www.f-prot.com Boot using the WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk and choose 4) Minimal Boot. At the A:\ prompt, type "scanreg /restore" (no quotes and note the space between the g and /) then press Enter. Follow the screen prompts and when asked, select the last 'good' date before the problem started, when PC ran OK, continuing with the instructions. Don't forget to remove the floppy disk BEFORE you tell the machine to reboot. Hopefully, this method may get your pc running again. Mart "Lynn" wrote in message ... Not even in safemode.
