Sometimes it stops half way through its boot ( XP Home & ME ), which is very annoying as we have to go through the performance of scanning the drives ( never finds anything! ) Another odd thing is that in ME, Front Page 2000 will not save properly unless the files are in a 'temp' folder, or has a 'temp' folder in the tree. Its OK in XP.	Mzee (158)

I dought if programs running in ME could right to a NTFS partition. I suspect that is why you canno save while running in ME. Probably the best way around this is to make sure that "~\where\i\save\stuff " lives on a FAT32 part of the HDD As for your (non)booting problem; PASS! .Chris	Chris (3346)

This is the procedure, to work back and think when it was last working right and what you (or someone else with access) did . Or in XP you can use that 'goback' or what ever it's called. Escapes me at the moment, restore. That's what you want. Try using restore to go back to good booting. HTH m:)c	mark c (247)
