As System Restore is not working and you therefore allude that you suspect a
registry issue, you could try reverting to the last 'good' registry to see
if that will bring things back again.
Although it is possible do this in Normal and Safe Mode, under the
circumstances I would suggest you do it in Real Mode DOS. Try booting, using
your Windows Startup (floppy) Disk and choose 4) Minimal Boot.
At the A:\> prompt, type "scanreg /restore" (no quotes and note the space
between the g and /) then press Enter.
Follow the screen prompts and when asked, select the LAST 'good' date,
continuing with the instructions.
Don't forget to remove the floppy disk BEFORE you tell the machine to
reboot.
Let's hope that brings you back to a "working version" of WinMe
