can't start ME,gray screen in safe mode
Hi Newbie71
Just got computer back from tune-up. .... Ah, and your having troubles ..... Had troubles updating to IE6. .... I used to be one of the great unwashed that for ever critisised Microsoft. However, the update centre is now superb. Definitely one of the best sites on the net. There should not have been any trouble with this procedure. .... finally got it to download.Thought it was kosher,but did defrag and had to turn it iff with button. After IE6 installed you really should have restarted the machine. I'm sure there would have been a message box that asked you to restart. Doing a defrag before a requested restart is not going to help your machine work properly. now have gray screen in safe mode.errors: 1.xms cache problem 2.tells me to install new hardware ,when there is none 3.SUReg Create key failed. Try opening up the box and firmly squeezing all the cards and stuff into place. Sounds to me like your "tune-up" person may not have lodged the bits in properly. They're probably just a bit loose. its a compaq5004ca with ME Compaq are a very good make. I, proudly have one myself. Mine is an old Persario 7470. no disk for windows came preloaded. Sadly I run 98SE so I can't tell you exactly where to click when your machine starts back up again. However, your hard disk will contain cabinet files and you will be able to create a ME disk. I'm sure that somebody here who is familiar with ME will instruct you how to do this. HELP PLEASE!!! ONLY SEEMED TO BE PROBLEM AFTER MY SON PUT MSN MESSENGER ON. In this environment there really is no need to shout. We can all hear. Clarence (Lancy) Howard (remove one of the 7s) |
