It usually don't just download to a diskette. Then try restoring the registry first. To restore the registry shut down the computer>wait 10 seconds>insert the disk into a: drive>restart the computer. When it loads>choose without cd-rom support>at the a:>prompt type scanreg /restore (note space after scanreg)>enter>yes>choose a date before the problem begin>ok.Remove the startup disk from the a: drive and press ctrl,alt,delete simultaneously to return to windows. If no luck try this second option which may retore the needed files. Restart the computer with the startup disk and at the a:> type sys c: (note the space after sys)>enter>then press ctrl,alt,delete to return to windows. If neither of these work you may need to edit the system.ini file to get your computer up and running , but try these first. ---jabuck On Saturday, October 23, 2004 at 8:01 am, Jenni wrote: >I am using win ME and after the password screen nothing happens, just a blank screen. > I can't even go in safe mode and don't know how to boot in DOS mode either (not >sure if u can do this in win ME) > >How this Happened- ran norton anti virus 2003, got message saying there was a change >to boot record, the change was unexpected so clicked that.
