My WindowsME OS Computer doesn't restart properly. It appears to be restarting, then hangs with a blank screen as though it shut down. I know it isn't shut down because:

The LED lights are still on.
When I finally hard boot it, Scandisk starts.
Please help.

This is not really an answer as I have not played with windows ME at all. Have you installed any programs recently or any new drivers ? If so you may want to try to bootup into safe mode (may press F8 when in boot mode and select the choice). Try touninstall the drivers or software that was currently loaded, and then reboot. Hopefully this will help you out.

This could be due to a corrupt or missing file in your Config.sys line you can boot into safe mode and choose line by line and select (y) at the end of each line.
The other possible cause could be to update your video driver.
The last option you can go to to accessories and system tools and then restore your system to a previous date when the system was booting properly.
