Win Me won't boot past safe mode screen-How to fix
« on: February 02, 2007, 05:51:03 PM »
On booting my win Me it gets to the safe mode screen, which is frozen on choice #3 safe mode, ; if I hit F5 or shift and F8, only choices possible, it just goes to a flashing cursor(-) and never boots. Happened after I was downloading a driver from an oem card reader at Idotconnect. Is it a virus and is it fixable without a full restore? I can't download fixes to that computer cause it won't even boot. Thanks for any help. ......... Thanks to street1: I discovered the problem; the reason it would not boot past the safe mode screen was that my keyboard was not plugged in all the way so it never received the reply to boot in safe mode; when  plugged in, it booted fine; sorry for taking your time.
