Blue screen of death for Windows ME

[TucanSpam]

This is how it went. I went to my friends house yesterday to install Norton Anti Virus 2005. The CD key didn't work for some reason so I unistalled it and it said that I had to restart his computer. Oh yeah he has a Windows ME. And when I was starting it back up the blue screen of death appeared. He was saying some third party crap was popping up a couple of days ago. And after the restart we could never ever do anything again. Then I thought we could go into safe mode and check the device manager. There was on yellow "!" so we removed it and we restarted the computer and the same thing blue screen popped up. If anyone know's what to do...please post here

He was saying some third party crap was popping up a couple of days ago

what exactly does that mean? what "third party crap"?

There was on yellow "!" so we removed it

What exactly did you "remove" what kind of a device was it? generally its a bad idea to just remove devices from device manager.

He was playing a game called Xcom and a third party shut the whole game down. He had to restart the computer and he was never able to play the game again.

He removed some messeging device.

You could try using the SFC look here:

(this will re-install system files from your windows cd)

Heres a better description of what SFC (system file checker) is:

not even safe mode?
If you can't even access safe mode you can boot off the winME cd and there should be a option somewhere to re-copy system files without formating (haven't used ME so im not sure what it would be called off the top of my head) but if you can find that option use it.

I Have Used A Windows ME Comp. And Hate It I Am Replacing It And Blue Screen Comes A Lot The Only Way To Restore System Files Without Formatting Is To Logon And Run The 3rd Cd Which M Is HP But Look For One Labeled Application Recovery Which Ive Used Only Restores Applications System Files I Would consider Replacing It They Dont Even Use Win. Update For Windows ME

Use System File Checker.
