I am getting the message "files that are required for windows to run properly
have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability
WIndows must restore the original versions of these files" Insert your now.
I am trying to system restore my computer and it is not allowing me to. So,
I am doing a disk cleanup and this is when I am getting the message. I do
not have the disk because it did not come with my system. I have a hp
laptop. I am unsure what my next step is. THanks

Try booting to Safe Mode and see if you can run system restore from there.

I have a secondhand hp laptop running winme.

I want to get rid of a screen that appears during boot. This is not the
regular winme startup screen.
That screen appears briefly, then goes away. Then the screen is blank
(mostly) for a while, and
just around the time that the hourglass cursor appears, a hand-drawn screen
appears and stays there
until logon is completed.

I've searched for jpgs and bitmaps and this picture doesn't appear to me
anywhere in the file system.
I've tried many different things, but so far no success.

If anybody knows how this boot effect was created and how to turn it off,
I'd be very appreciative
