Hi Jason, I don't think you'll lose anything, as long as you don't reformat. re Windows ME. I've heard it's a great Virus. I'd switch to XP Pro. John Myers Myers TV Service Company 376 E.

I'm sure it is just the power switch or fuse, lol. Anyways, I was doing a windows update friday night and when it restarted it did the memory check then went to a black screen and had a white box telling me that windows.exe is not found - Please reinstall windows. I click ok and it tells me of a c:windows/system/xxxx.dll file is missing. I click ok again and it just sits there. > > ABS is supposed to call me tonight to help cause a windows disk was not included 4.5 yrs ago when I got the system. My question is if I have to reinstall windows will it lose any files I have stored? I haven't done a backup in a while so I hope not. It originally had Win ME, should I just go get Win XP? > > Thanks guys! > > Sincerely, > > Jason Martin > Excel Distributing Inc. > 1819 Mentor Ave. > Cincinnati, Ohio 45212 > > ph-800-733-3329 fax- 800-735-8007 > www.ExcelDistributingInc.com > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > This Email List is Public.
