Quote:If you can start it but can't finish... try closing down all other active applications... and when i say ALL i mean not just things you have open in the task bar. You have to kill everything in task manager by pressing ctrl-alt-del and manually ending each task.not EVERYTHING - you need to leave EXPLOERE and SYSTRAY running (at least that's how it was in 98SE, I assume it hold true for the crapheap that ME is - no offense Kingpin).
If they don't run at all, I would suggest you back up all of your critical files, format that drive and install either Win2K or Win XP Pro. If you wanna stick with ME you can, but this might happen again at some point down the road. ME is just awful.
