    hi all,

    i cannot access windowsme. after boot it goes to winme graphic, then the following error(s) show:


    "error loading Explorer.exe You must install windows.

    followed by:

    "The MSVCRT.DLL file is linked to missing export
    NTDLL.DLL:RtlGetNtVersionNumbers "

    i do not have winme installation nor os disks. just a boot disk and winme startup cd. trying different forums i am usually told to extract msvcrt.dll from disk. i am assuming i will need winme os cd to (get) extract dll to import to c drive. if this doesn't work does anybody have any thoughts. i just want to get my data off this computer, so reinstall is not an option. incidentally, i cannot get in using safemode either. :(

    i've seen repair software (e.g. for .dll errors etc.) like regcure. will any of these "type" softwares work?

    thanx,

    soj:cool:

    sojisan - Welcome to the Board :)
    Hitch the drive up as slave in another computer and copy your data across and burn to CD/DVD.

    Look in these two folders, WinMe typically has the installation files in one of them.
    c:\windows\options\cabs
    c:\windows\options\install
