I have just tried to install KernelEX V 4.5 Final on my WIn ME machine. I used Install WIzard and it all seemed to go well. When it asked about rebooting the machine I chose "Manual Reboot." Upon rebooting the machine it goes as far as the Windows ME welcome screen but then it just hangs. Next I tried rebooting while pressing F8 in order to start in Safe Mode. The multi choice screen comes up (Normal, Logged, Safe, Step-by-step, etc.) but when I choose "Safe" it takes me to the WIndows ME welcome screen again. After using the Wizard a screen came up about installing Unicode first but there was a screen behind that saying that Unicode was installing so I pressed "Finish." I'm guessing that is where the problem came from but I can't do much without being able to get into safe mode. Suggestions? Cheers, John
