| Windows ME will not boot I downloaded DirectX 9b on my daughters ME system so she could play a game. However, when download was complete the computer started to re-boot but stopped at the windows ME picture. It will not reboot. Anyone have any idea what went wrong or how to fix this. I was running DirectX 8 fine. ASUS TUSL2-C P3 800mhz Bios1012tc Memory 512 OS ME Last edited by djinst : 09-05-2004 at 12:54 AM. |

| Perhaps 3 or 4 years ago I had problems upgrading to a newer version of DirectX while using Windows Me. Although I could list the many things I tried, the only thing that ended up working was a reinstall of Windows Me. In my case, I did not lose any files, since the reinstall only copied over the existing files, of which I assume some had become corrupted. The reinstall went well, and the upgraded DirectX (I forgot the version) installed and operated properly after that. If you do not get a better suggestion and want to try this, first back up all files since you may lose them in the process. Good luck.  |

| Bummer that the "easier" fix did not work.  Sorry you had to put up with the hassle of a reformat. At least things are running OK now, and I hope they continue to do so. |
