HOw do I get into ME to do a system restore? Is this possible or do I need to do something else.TIA Lyn Guest (0)

27448 2001-12-12 10:41:00 Hi Lyn

I would perhaps try going into 'safe mode'

This is done by pressing F8 as soon as your machine displays 'starting Windows Millenuim' When you switch it on....A list of 1/2doz options will appear and select 'safe mode'. This will start your machine with default drivers and allow you to get to the desktop where you can make to neccessay changes......I also think the restore feature is available from there to.

Good Luck
