And does it then shut down after 59 seconds?
If so, how did you manage to re-install WinMe after you re-formatted? What happens if you boot with the WinMe Startup (Floppy) Disk? Do you still get the 59 second warning in Real Mode DOS Mart "Beau" wrote in message ... everytime I start my computer I get an error messege telling me that my computer will shut down in 59 seconds.

Make sure that your CD is from MS not a pirated one. |

Wrong - you're confusing a number of things, none of which apply to Win ME
1) Product Activation in XP - which is where pirate susceptibility to worm infections comes in, since it's necessary to hack the activation to access the patches to prevent infection 2) The Blaster/Nachi worms - which don't affect ME 3) 'pirated' Windows CD's in ME are identical to those legally available from legitimate sources (at least as far as the code on them goes) -- unlike most pirate copies of XP, which derive from copies of XP which are supposed only to be used within large corporations. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Muhammad-Ali" wrote in message ...
