Ok, my computer has been giving me fits for a while. ie. certain bugs refuse to come off. I was retrying to get adobe acrobat and all of the sudden the computer wouldn't allow access to the internet. Two "execs" would pop up instead of one, and neither would work. I got fed up and decided to eliminate anything suspicious on my computer. 99% done, and the computer freezes up. This happens all the time, so I turn it off and on again. Now the fun part. Now when I boot up, it takes me to safe mode with four options. Regardless of which option I choose, I get this message: CANNOT FIND SYSTEM.INI. Boot with emergency boot disk and type SCANREG/RESTORE Help!!
Sorry to hear that. Comp probs can be very frustrating...especially when you risk loosing everything on there. Do you have a boot disk. Try loading off of that. Aside from that, all I can offer is a clean sweep fix that i used on my Dell. Ctrl F11 at the bootup screen, but be warned, it restores the system to day one, and whatever you have that was not Day 1 will be lost forever.
It could be your system.ini file is corrupted. You can search for help on google or MS site. Type the exact error message.
I've got no problem restoring it and losing everything. I only need it now for the internet, anyway. Ctrl F11 doesn't work on this one, however, and I don't have a boot disk. It's a Yamaha.
What kind of computer do you have? Did it come with a system recovery disk? If it comes down to this you can always take it to Best Buy. They'll format it and reinstall windows but it'll cost you 60 bucks.
Its a yamaha. Its been using windows ME. I have no other idea about the computer. If it had a system recovery disk, I don't have it anymore.
There is your problem, you are using the most worthless windows verion (ME). Immidately go get an XP cd.
I could care less about reformating it. That's why I deleted EVERYTHING. I figured the stupid computer which files were vital... apparently not. I can't get into my computer now. It boots to that Safe Mode screen, and then says I can't go any further without what was said above. BTW, I'm not on said computer right now. It ain't working.
if you know someone that has win ME you can have them make a boot disk for ya. Windows ME boot disk instructions
