The WinMe bootup disk does not let you start Windows at all, it will only
boot into Real Mode DOS - no Windows Start Menu. Presumably it let you
continue to the A:\> prompt (or the DOS Help pages - if you let it - a good
sign <g>)

Instead, try booting into Safe Mode - (F8 or Ctrl key at power-on).

See how you get on and come back with result.
