First boot to DOS using a floppy and check whether you have a WININIT.INI
file in your C:\WINDOWS folder. If present rename it to something like wininit.old and try booting again. It is also probable that you will have to repeat the last software install or update that you made. See MS KB283069 - "Error Message: (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=283069). If you can't find a wininit.ini file then I suspect your problem is due to the C:\_RESTORE\TEMP folder having around 64K files in it which is the limit (2**16) for the number of files that can be located in a folder using the FAT32 filing system. This can also lead to the "Cannot upgrade file %1 from %2.." message when booting. I suggest you try deleting the _RESTORE folder with the loss of any system restore checkpoints you might have (not that I think they are now usable) and see if that solves the problem. [BTW do you have any Symantec applications installed? I ask because LiveUpdate is implicated in this problem.] Delete the folder as follows: a) Boot to DOS using a floppy. Do NOT choose "Minimal Boot" from the menu when booting from a floppy but rather choose "Start computer with (or without) CD-ROM support" otherwise the ATTRIB command will not be available. b) At the DOS A:\ prompt, type: ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\_RESTORE then REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST c) Remove the floppy d) Reboot your PC Another problem though is that the update you were doing was probably never completed so your system may still be unusable. If however it does manage to boot then e) Delete the folder C:\OLDREST f) Check that an automatic system restore checkpoint was created. g) Finally adjust the space allocated to the restore folder: System | Performance | File System | Hard Disk and adjust the restore slider to your preferred setting. A figure of 200MB is normally more than adequate for day to day use allowing perhaps a week of checkpoints to be available although increasing this to perhaps 400MB for a few days during periods of large installs such Microsoft Office is advisable. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP David wrote: I am running window Me.
