Start button error in WinME

For starters run an updated virus scan then go here and this will ensure Me is has all the OS updates. If none of these work you should reinstall windows.

Im running Nortons Antivirus Corporate Edition and the system is virus free. Where was I suppose to go to check that all the files were there? Did u mean the windows update site, if so I have all the updates as well. The system runs perfectly except for this error.
Thanx

Are you able to get into the Windows Explorer by right clicking on the Start button or going through My Computer? You may want do some maintenance on the workstation. Remove temp files and temporary internet files. Also, a scandisk and defrag might be in order as well.

Hai,
u juz re-install ur WinME edition that's enough

Chances are your WinME OS is corrupt.

You can try troubleshooting it all you want but from experience, you're way better off just reinstalling WinME and moving on with your life.

I personally try to recommend users steer away from ME altogether because although some swear by it, most I've come across - swear at it.

Good luck.

Had a similar problem last week.

I booted from a Windows ME startup floppy/repair disk and then followed the instructions it gives to repair the registry - its along the lines of scanreg /repair but it will give you the exact syntax as it boots from the floppy.

If you don't have this disk you can make one from Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs then the Startup Disk tab.

DO NOT DO A CLEAN INSTALL unless this doesnt work. Just reinstall ME over the old version, should fix it, Godd Luck!
