System Restore & Windows ME System Recovery Cds :(:(:(
OK - armed with the very little information you've given us, can't help you
with System Restore nor where you can get replacement Recovery CD's - however the following *might* help you to make at least some progress and a fresh start :- Assuming the following were supplied and actually installed onto the hard disk by your OEM's version of WinMe. Look for a folder containing the full set of WinMe installation files, which are 'usually' located at Windows\Options\Install or CABS. The folder you need contains a whole series of .CAB files (including WIN_8.CAB thru' WIN_22.CAB and other CABS). Depending on the OEM, these files might even be in a different location (if provided) so you may have to search for them. The folder (approx. 100-150 MB) should also contain a setup.exe file (and *might* even contain hardware drivers!) and more importantly, a file called CLEANHD.TXT, which you should print out and read very carefully. (CLEANHD.TXT can also be viewed and printed from :-"Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents" http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271673 If the OEM has provided these files/folder - and not all do - then continue with the following suggested procedure. You should copy (burn) the contents of the folder to a CD - and you will also need to make a note of the 25 digit key code supplied with the computer. You can find this code which is located in the Registry by searching your Registry (using regedit.exe) for ProductKey. Armed with you newly burned CD, Product Key and the CLEANHD.TXT file, you are in a position to completely re-install a brand-new 'clean' version of WinMe. Remember though, you will eventually need to do the Windows Updates for WinMe from the MS WU site (whilst they're still there!!). Any other 'special' hardware drivers (e.g. Video Card) which you may need can usually be downloaded from the hardware manufacturers web sites. You might also find that (free) utilities such as Belarc Advisor:- http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html should help identify hardware such as your Video Card - It will also identify the 25 digit ProductKey.

In addition to Mart's post knowing what problem you are trying to solve
would also help as it could be you don't need to reinstall Win Me. -- Mike Maltby izzattar wrote: I'm using Windows ME. OMG!!!! Help me!!! I can't go back to November on my System Restore!!

Win Me isn't a program. It's an operating system. You can't uninstall Win Me unless you upgraded to Win Me from a previous operating system, chose to retain that earlier operating system when upgrading and have not since deleted the files containing that earlier operating system. So once again if I may. What is the problem you are trying to fix? -- Mike Maltby izzattar wrote: OH ! Mike. I also need to know how to "totally" "un-install" the Win ME Program again.

Rolling back a system five or six weeks is for the most part pointless so
it is I feel a good thing that you have no system restore checkpoints from early November. MSN. By MSN do you mean MSN Messenger or MSN Explorer or what? I'm sorry but without a little more detail it is very difficult to provide any sensible advice. What was the problem you were trying to solve and with which program. I'm sorry but saying MSN doesn't really help me. -- Mike Maltby izzattar wrote: Ok Mike..I wanted to ""un-install"" MSN AND RESTALL IT. I "un-installed" it, but when I went to re-install it with Internet Explorer, it wouldn't re-install. "NOTHING"! I was sooo mad!! Now I have nothing. No MSN, no Internet program like MSN to communicate with people. I want to give up MSN but love the browser. And am afraid to transger to another ISP in fear of loosing all my e-mail and addresses (I have too many) Anyway, back to my problem. I want to to a System Restore but it won't take me to any other date other than December. I need to go back to at least November 1st. or 2nd. of 2006. In other word's, I just want to go back to that day. I want my p.c. "normal" again. OH! MSN won't install. it download's about hald the way, and stop's!! So does Internet Explorer. Please write to me Mike at and let's talk there. Thank's so much .... HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! |
