there shouldn't be a second '.' at the end - the line should simply be
Shell=progman.exe There's nothiing that should add a '.' to the line! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Mark" wrote in message ...

Rather than
shell=progman.exe you could try using shell=c:\windows\system\restore\rstrui.exe which will then take you straight in to system restore. -- Mike Maltby Mark wrote: I have tried the method you suggested.

Renaming Config and Autoexec Files
I tried to rename the files but not too sure if it worked.
Is it as simple as opening the file and then resave? As still have same problem on restart. I did install a new video driver just before the system crashed ?? But have since removed it. Also had another video driver & card installed. Have removed that also. Is time to take the machine to a computer shop ???

Renaming Config and Autoexec Files
Just opening and saving under a new name leaves the old file there!
You need to open Windows Explorer, and r-click on the filename, and rename it. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Mark" wrote in message ...
