Reinstalling Windows Me

Before reinstalling the Windows Me operating system to correct a problem, try correcting the problem by performing a Windows Me System Restore (see page 50).

NOTICE: The Operating System CD provides options for reinstalling your Windows Me operating system. The options can potentially overwrite files installed by Dell and possibly affect programs installed on your hard drive.

Therefore, Dell does not recommend that you reinstall your operating system unless instructed to do so by a Dell technical support representative.

NOTICE: To prevent conflicts with Windows Me, you must disable any virus protection software installed on your computer before you reinstall Windows Me.

1Insert the Operating System CD into the CD or DVD drive.

Close any program or utility that may start to run after you insert the CD into the drive.

2Turn off the computer (see page 20), and then turn the computer on again.

HINT: The CD that you need to place in your CD or DVD drive is titled Operating System.
