Start up problem - display.sys
Hi
I have a friend who has 2 computers, one running XP and the other ME. She has managed to get into a situation where she can't start either. I know very little about XP so I will look elsewhere for help on that. I know a little more about ME and I have tried to get that computer started for her. I have used my EBD and found 4 restore points that were marked as "Started" but these did not work.Therefore, I tried to EXTRACT a RG*.CAB file, which did extract the 3 files. This method was given to me by Mike Maltby on here in May 2005 and I have used it several times, with success on different computers when the EBD method failed. However, on this occasion after trying either of the "restore" methods, I get the following error message, after the initial ME splashscreen and start-up options: C:\WINDOWS\DISPLAY.SYS Cannot set the code page in DISPLAY.SYS Any ideas please? Thanks Craig |
