My system is dual boot ME/XP on C:/D: respectively.
My problem is with the ME half.
I performed a Norton virus update 18th August, and it told me to restart my computer.
Whilst booting up I got a message
"You need to reinstall Windows"
I clicked OK and was then told that SHLWAPI.DLL was missing from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
As my system is dual-boot I went onto XP and extracted SHLWAPI.DLL from the cab file.
On rebooting back to ME it now plays the fanfare jingle but hangs on BSOD.
CTRL-ALT-DEL shows 3 programs running
Nprotect
Mdn
Csinject

Thinking that the problem was Nprotect, I renamed it but PC still hangs.
Any ideas what to try next?
Can I edit the ME start-up from the XP half of the system?

Regards
Patrick

Patrick_UK, SWAG, what happens if you leave XP alone and use restore on ME (safe mode?)?
HTH.

Hello Ted
No, Safe Mode is exactly the same,
I get the Windows ME splash screen, then a black screen, then blue screen and the fanfare jingle....
nothing else
As I said above:-
CTRL-ALT-DEL shows 3 programs running
Nprotect
Mdn
Csinject

Is a repair the only option ?

For the record, I've done a repair. Got the system back up on ME.
Now got to overcome installation problems getting back to IE6.
