I have a Tiny 800mhx AMD on a MS-6340 main board.  I
installed an orignal roxio photo-suite 5 and when i
restarted after the install my computer wouldn't even
launch the bios page.

This is what has happened on various different restarts.

I reset the bios and changed the battery.  BIOS page
loaded and said CMOS Settings Wrong and CMOS/GPNV Checksum
BAD. press f1 to set up or F2 to load defaults.  Sometimes
the keyboard doesn't respond here, and some time it does
but i just get a black screen with blinking _ in the top
left.

Sometime when i restart i just get CMOS Settings Wrong and
the same as above happens.

Now I cant even get that, i just get a blinking _ in the
top left corner.

I have changed the memory and unplugged all the hardware
and reseated everything but it dont make any difference.

Some times I get a 2 beep error message other times i get
a 2beep, 1 beep code.  

Before i installed this Roxio Photo-Suite it was working
fine.

THANKS

It maybe difficult but try to boot from the ME Safety Boot floppy you should
have on hand.

If successful run SCANREG/ RESTORE from the A:\> prompt and select a
date/time before the Roxio software was installed.

Hopefully this will allow Windows to start notmally.
