ME cant boot up now

[Guest leemsbbe]

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

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.

first thing I'd do is bootup using your floppy and run scandisk C:

 

If it finds and corrects errors...then try again

 

 

If no errors are found...log onto your C: drive and run scanreg /restore

and restore the most recent registry prior to the error

Re: ME cant boot up now

 

Insert the Floppy and reboot, press 'ESC' and it gives

1/Help

2/ Start pc with cd-rom support

3/ start pc without cd-rom support

4/ minimum boot

 

After above what do I do, need guidance as I dont know much about the

procedure, thanks

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.

Start the computer, tap the F8 key until the startup menu appears and

select "Step by step confirmation". This should show you where the

problem is occurring.

Re: ME cant boot up now

 

Either I spoke too soon just now, I left is as it is and when I came back

hours later,and continue with the loading, I am now able to launch the IE and

goes to desktop, thus the problem reollved. Many thanks to you all.
