Win ME updates
I ran a number of updates and now I seem to be caught in a loop.
1) PC starts in selective start up mode 2) dialog box pops up that indicates setup was not complete 3) prompted to click RESUME/EXIT SETUP 4) Resume - PC dials ISP logs onto MS Download site 5) Pop up indicates updates are current prompted to EXIT SETUP/REINSTALL 6) click EXIT SETUP go back to step 1 upon rebooting PC 7) click REINSTALL - Pop up indicates PC needs to restart for setup to complete, restart PC go back to step 1 Any suggestions to break the cycle? |

Install the free Belarc Advisor, and peruse the list of critical Win Updates
and their status, near the middle/bottom of the page of the report. If any Update is red-X'ed, use the Windows Update Catalog to reinstall it/them. When everything seems fine after a reboot, confirm that there is no ....\Windows\wininit.ini file, and set a manual System Restore point, for good measure. www.belarc.com -- Jack E Martinelli 2002-05 MS MVP Shell/User /DTS Help us help you: http://www.dts-L.org/goodpost.htm In Memorium: Alex Nichol http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...ts/nichol.mspx Your cooperation is very appreciated. ---------- "Csquare" wrote in message ...
