2 weeks ago I updated the critical updates from microsoft
site (including IE updates). upon restart I got errors and
the IE kept hanging, so I went to Control Panel and
deleted
the new application downloads including the new IE. Upon
reboot this time the system said there were errors and was
going to reconfigure or something to a previous good
configuration. Now when I start my computer, the Windows
ME
screen comes on and looks like everything loads properly,
but I get to the windows interface and the blue background
comes up on the screen but nothing else is shown. When I
hit CTRL+ALT+DEL only one program is listed (unlike before
when I remember lots listed). I can't do anything else,
just a blue background on the screen and nothing else, and
the only function available is the keyboard shortcut for
CTRL+ALT+DEL. How can I recover from this disaster? Help
please!!
I also thought I could just upgrade to XP professional,
but
when I put the CD into the CD drive and turned on my
computer it does the same thing and goes to the blue
screen. Is it possible to do something during start-up and
just have it boot from CD and upgrad to XP so I don't lose
any of my data that's already in my computer?
Any suggestions on how to recover my data and system would
help, Thanks!!!!
