Black screen upon start up with ME
Black screen upon start up with ME
I downloaded some Microsoft updates and Direct X, and a Nero demo version over two days. When trying to install the latest of the nero, it asked me to restart my computer. When it came back up, there was only a black screen with blinking cursor. CURRENTLY: If I do shut down or restart, I get a black screen with blinking cursor and can not shut down (even with cont alt delete). If I press/hold power off button and come back up it goes into safe mode. While coming up: Extended RAM passed takes a long time to process. Last week I ran the scanreg /fix command from a command prompt Still comes up in safe mode. I tried to do a system restore from several points and it didn't affect this. I have a Pentium III 381. MB RAM using Windows ME Can you please help me figure out what I can do to fix this computer? thanks, deidra |

Try booting to Safe Mode, and Uninstalling Nero - then run SCANREG /FIX
from a command prompt. See if that helps -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's wrote in message ...
