PROBLEM: Windows will not boot properly.
ACTIONS:
• If Windows Me indicates a registry problem rebooting might clear it up.

encounters registry porblems. For Windows 2000 users contact Technical
Support, as this is a much more detailed process.
• Interrupt the boot process by hitting the [F8] key just after the unit
completes the POST (Power On Self-Test). This will bring up a menu
asking you how to boot the system. Select “Logged” (to keep a log of
the boot that you can later check), “Safe Mode” (which will load with
minimal drivers and can provide a means of accessing software for
diagnosing your problems) or “Step-by-step confirmation” (to check
each command and locate the step causing the problem). If you need
further assistance, check your Windows documentation or check
Microsoft’s web page for technical assistance.
