Where can i download a startup/boot disc for microsoft windows millennium edition?? After upgrading direct X, my computer will not re-boot www.bootdisk.com what's the error message? - where does the boot fail?

I am, coincidentally, having the same problem. Upgraded Direct X to 8.0, and am getting the same error he is: "Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1: %2" Which loops, ad infinitum. I have downloaded "Bootme.exe",for WindME (OEM version) from bootdisk.com, but when I transferred it over to a disk and tried it, I got the standard "Non-system disk" error. Is there a specific procedure for making a bootdisk, other than just copying the boot program to disk? I have the info on how to correct the problem after that, but without a startup disk to get it rolling, the rest of the info is nigh-useless.

Alrighty... now we have a new glitch.. following instructions found here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=279736 On getting my system to run System Restore without being able to boot up in Explorer, even in safe mode, which I can't, it loops either way, I changed the system.ini to the command as shown(shell=progman.exe), and rebooted... several times I follow this course, and every time, the changes follow over, IE, the command line *does not* change back to Explorer, so it is saving the changes, but it still makes the attempt to update, upon reboot, and locks into the loop, as it would for a normal startup. Any ideas on how to deal with this one? >-----Original Message----- >You have to run the file from Windows to create the boot disk (didn't you >RTFM?<g>) Your %1/%2 error is caused usually by Norton LiveUpdate, corrupting the System Restore archive - although there are other possible causes. Do a Search for the file WININIT.INI - if you find it, then rename it to WININIT.JNK, and reboot - your problem should be gone. If you don't find it, then try this - Start|Run - enter SCANREG /FIX into the dialog box, and click OK - windows will reboot - see if that fixes it. If not, then do a Search on your PC for files named '_RESTORE' (without the quotes) - you should find the C:\_RESTORE folder - r-click on it, and select Properties. How many files/folders are there? If it's around 64thousand, then LiveUpdate has been up to its tricks again, and you'll have to completely remove the folder from DOS - use the following method, which seems to be the easiest at present. Reboot to DOS using your Startup disk enter the following commands at the A:\> prompt. ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\_RESTORE REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST remove the floppy, and reboot to normal windows. - your error should be gone, and you should now have a new, single restore point. Go to Windows Explorer, and delete the C:\OLDREST folder HTH SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Season's Greetings to one and all!

Thank you very much. Is there a way to prevent this little bug from causing future problems? Not a vital question, just curiousity. Thanks again. Yup - get rid of Norton 'Anything'! <g> SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Season's Greetings to one and all!
