It's been a while since I tried ME on one of my systems... I went back. Too many crashes.

But what you should have (I think) is an option to go to the command prompt when you boot. That puts you in DOS mode.

Alternately, you might create a startup disk and boot from that. Then you're on its copy of Windows, and not the one on the hard drive. You should be able to fix anything then.

Andrewas' suggestion to do an OS reinstall is also a good one. I'm going to be doing that soon on one of my machines.
