Guest leemsbbe Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 It was working fine before. Then, I did a scan using Ad-aware 1.06 and deleted what ever it found. One of the items it cannot delete it, something in the TEMP folder. So I decided to to delete it from the TEMP folder, START>%TEMP%.> and deleted all the folders named something like this Axxxxxxx,TMP. After that I try to reboot, it will not go to desktop. The ME logo will appear and htere is a LED indicator light moving L to R. Thats just about as far as it goes. Now how can I get the ME to boot up/work properly as I do not wish to reformat it. Appreciate if someone can help please, thanks
Guest Mike M Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Re: ME cant boot up now Can you boot to Safe Mode? If you can, run system restore and then boot back to normal mode and this time be a little more cautious about what you are doing when running Ad-aware. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com leemsbbe <leemsbbe@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > It was working fine before.

Guest Dapper Dan Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Re: ME cant boot up now When you did c:scanreg /restore, did you restore it to a previous date where you know it worked? Just in case you didn't do it properly, here's Microsoft instructions; Under normal circumstances, Windows is capable of detecting and recovering from registry errors automatically. If Windows is incapable of this, a previous copy of the registry can be restored manually. Windows makes and stores a backup of the registry when you start your computer successfully each day. By default, five previous copies or the registry are stored. To restore one of these previous copies: 1. Start your computer, press and hold CTRL, and then choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only from the Windows 98 Startup menu. If you are running Windows Me, start your computer with the startup disk. 2. At the MS-DOS prompt, type cd\windows\command, and then press ENTER. Where windows is the name of the folder in which Windows is installed. 3. At the C: prompt, type scanreg /restore, and then press ENTER. 4. Select the previous registry you want to restore, and then press ENTER.NOTE: A properly working registry has the word "Started" next to the date. 5. When you receive notification that you restored a properly working registry, press ENTER to restart your computer.
