Clint, Thanks for the reply. First off, when pressing F8 brings me to a screen with a few choices....none of which are start in DOS. How do you get to DOS on ME? Also, where is 'disable fast shutdown" located at? This was a fresh install, but the original problem was the same thing we are having now. This leads me to believe some type of AOL problem since she did not have Norton installed the first time. Things seem so different in ME then they were in 98.

If scandisk is running after every shutdown before windows loads, then something is running in the background causing it, by not shutting down when you reboot. You could be harming things by disabling scandisk after bad shutdown. If this is the case, then the OS could in this case have some corruption. Disable EVERYTHING loading with windows AND running in the background. Don't just cont-alt-del out of them, thinking they are disabled. Keep doing it until only the necessary remain (sys tray, explorer). Then try to shutdown and restart. God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I posted for help on this a week or so ago.....I went over and reinstalled Windows ME. There were some other problems I had to go back over and fix, one was scan disk starting and hanging, the other, her AOL would not connect to webpage she uses most. I disabled scan disk after bad shut-down and showed her how to use Internet Explorer to get to WebPages easier. Now, when she reboots, it goes through all the hard ware detect, etc....but stops in MS-DOS with just a flashing cursor. I can not understand what can be causing this, with a fresh ME install. She has AOL and just a few other programs installed. I kept McAfee off the computer and put Norton SW 2003 on. My guess would be AOL or Norton. Has anyone had experiences with this type problem in ME? Thank you. Jeff Dougherty ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
