Well my wonderful PC is caught in a loop.

When I logged on I got the message

"select F11 to start the IBM recovery process"

Then it kicked over to a permanant loop

"windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2"

I think my PC is officially dead

I have windows ME too so the hubbie is at a loss how to bypass and get to windows.

/sigh

I had the same problem before. It was Windows ME that was the problem in my case. There are certain situations it does not like. I had the same %1 %2 messages and then it would suddenly work fine. Then it wouldn't.. then it would. I had upgraged ram various other things and thought i had found a fix..

I finally upgraded to the copy of Windows 2000 I've had and all my issues vanished.
