I have tried to use system restore on my computer. I
booted it up with a startup disk I got down from
www.bootdisk.com and as it came up with the prompt a:, I
used Zee's suggestions to restore the computer. It
restored to a previous date but on restart I had the same
problem as previously. The message I got was
WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS and WINDOWS\DISPLAY.SYS are either
missing or corrupted followed by the message that whilst
installing device IFSMGR 'Microsoft installable File
System Manager cannot find the helper driver. Please
ensure that IFSHLP.SYS has been installed. System halted.

As I seem to be missing some files or they are corrupted,
could you please tell me how to reload Windows ME from my
reinstallation CD that came with the computer from Dell.
Thanks

Before trying either of Zee's suggestions, you may want
to try a System
Restore - look here for instructions....

I am working on my old computer which has Windows ME as
its OS. I think I deleted a system file because now it
will not boot up at all (not even in Safe Mode). I
have
the original Window's ME CD. My question is: How do I
reinstall Windows ME from the CD or do I have to copy
it
to a floppy disc and then use that? and if so how do I
use a floppy to reinstall the OS? Or does anyone have
any
other suggestions? Thanks for any suggestions. C
