My mother has Windows ME on an HP. Her system has been restarting out of the blue. I tried to run Registry Mechanic and it restarted about half way thru. I ran scan disc and it locked up and I had to reboot. I ran Norton Antivirus and it restarted. When she is doing anything on the computer, it just restarts.
Now I am trying to put XP on her system and when I run the program it restarts. Sometimes it says it needs a txtsetup.sif or something like that.
I have recently got the system to go thru the standard scan disc and defrag. I am trying to see if there are any Windows updates that would make any difference. It happens when she is on the internet and when she opens emails.
I have done a selective startup and unchecked everything except statemgr.
If anyone has any ideas, I could use your help.
