rundll error in mmsystem.dll--URGENT!!!

I had the above error showing, and I corrected it through system.ini.,

However, ever since that error occured, I am experiencing the following 2 problems:'

1. No cursor (Unless I am in "safe" mode)
2. My font, color, screen is distorted
3. No icons appear on the bottom navigation bar

I am currently using an alternate computer to send this, but I use my computer for my business, and I'm about to pull my hair out!

Has anyone experienced this? I feel like it's something simple that needs to be "reset ", but after 4 hours of research, I can't find what I need to do to fix it.

Thank you so much,
Tracie

 

Hi Traciedm
Welcome to the boards! Is this the instructions that you followed?

Try this:




Restart your computer.


Press and hold down the [Ctrl] key until the Microsoft Windows Millennium Startup Menu appears.


Select Safe Mode.
Windows starts in VGA mode.


Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.


Click Settings, and then click OK.
Windows notifies you that it will restart in VGA mode.


Click Yes, and then restart your computer.



When your computer restarts, it will be running in VGA (640x480, 16-color) mode. You can now reset your display settings by right-clicking the desktop, clicking Properties, and then clicking Settings. If the resolution you want to select is not available, choose another resolution (anything but 640x480, 16-color), and let Windows restart. The full set of resolutions and color depths will be available after you restart your computer.

NOTE: While in Safe Mode, Windows does not load your original display driver, so none of the display settings are available for you to change. Instead, Windows automatically resets your display settings to the defaults (640x480, 16-color, single monitor, default refresh rate). Then, you can restart in normal Windows mode and make corrections to your display settings.

After restarting your computer in Safe Mode, change the resolution to VGA. Not all display modes may appear in the Display Properties Settings dialog box. This is because when Windows Me is running in VGA mode, the accelerated display driver is not loaded, so Windows Me cannot query it for available modes. Once you switch to another mode, Windows prompts you to restart so it can load the accelerated display driver. After the second restart, Windows Me adds the full mode list supported by your display hardware to the Display Properties Settings dialog box.

Blatantly ripped from here.
