My micron computer reboots after using my password to get into windows. I have used my recovery disc but the same thing is happening... does anyone have any suggestions??? I have tried to sign on using safe mode and my desktop will flash on for about 4 seconds before it reboots. I do not know how to use dos and am almost computer illiterate, so please be gentle.

You could try booting with a Dos Boot disk, navigate to C:\windows and type scanreg /restore.

This should bring up the "System Restore" utility of sorts. Actually it's a registry restoration tool. Using your arrow keys on the keyboard you should be able to highlight the oldest date you have there and hit enter. If you get a message such as registry restore failed, then you are probably out of luck as far as ME is concerned. If you want to recover data and have another computer handy, you could always put the hard drive in to another machine, get your data off and then do a complete format and re-install of the system.
