Windows
ME installation
When
running the setup file the setup routines ask to reboot after it finishes
copying files. After restarting and running the setup again, the
same message appears. The setup routine loops around in circles.
The
computer needs to be in "Safe Mode"
in two successive reboots to install the software correctly.
To
restart the computer in "Safe Mode,"
press the F8 key while the computer is booting.
The best way is to tap the F8 key while the computer is starting.
A list will appear of different modes of starting windows. Select
the option that is labeled Safe Mode.
This should be the 3rd item in the list. Upon booting, after selecting
"Safe Mode," Windows will give some messages. These can
be ignored. Upon seeing the desktop, which will look different,
there will be the words SAFE MODE in the
four corners of the screen.
Once
running in "Safe Mode" run the setup program. It will
ask for a reboot. Make sure to restart in
SAFE MODE again. Repeat the process by pressing F8 while
the computer is booting. Now, if the computer has been successfully
started in SAFE MODE twice in a row after running the setup program, you
will get past the screen saying Copying files and prompting for a reboot.
