I have those things downloaded on my computer already, except for the IEradicator,
which I am copying onto a floppy right now,but the problem is that I can't get INTO
my computer. There is no start button, and no icons on the desktop.
Let me ask you this: is there a web page I can go to to make a Windows ME start-up
disk from my daughter's computer and then install it on my computer?
It seems like it stops loading right at the desktop and wont let the icons load.
any advice?
