Well now I've done it! I think I really crashed my system. After trying everything everyone everywhere has suggested, I finally ended up using the "Disk of Death" (Restoration disk) and now I can't get anything to work. I have a back up disk but can't get to the "start,run" screen to use it. The pc does the windows scan because it wasn't shut down properly and then it shuts off. Any ideas? This is urgent because I need to pay bills and can't get into the @#$#$ thing to do so! Hubby tried to upgrade the IE is what started this whole thing. The desktop shortcuts went dead, can't use windows explorer, etc. Email me @ waverly.nichols@bakeroiltools.com please! Thanks :>)

First remove all accessory cards except of course the VGA card. Try rebooting and see what happens. If the system still crashes, remove the RAM and reinsert it carefully and firmly. Try booting again.... this is a one at a time procedure so lets trythese steps first.
I expect that Windows is objecting to one of your driver files... removing the PCI and ISA cards would be the best way to start if you don't have tech help close.
