I have a "Stop: c0000135" and "winsrv was not found" , which is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885523; with one exception, after F8 and entering safemode I see a page full of system32 drivers, and then it reboots and flashes the same error " STOP: c0000135 {unable to locate components} This application has failed to start because winsrv was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." and then the same reboot cycle and never allowing me into safemode to repair the comp. This is a friends comp which was her late hubbys comp, which I was updating for her to use and set it for automatic microsoft updates for her, and am sorry now I allowed it to start updating xp sp2, which error'd out half way through. She has no xp cd or recovery cd. Can you help me at least somehow get into safemode? Thank you for any assistance.

I have a Gateway running Windows 98SE. It will not come up beyond the Gateway screen. I have data that needs to be rescued in some way. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

mac53: Yes you can, goto http://www.bootdisks.com and download the Windows98SE boot disk, install it on a floppy disk, restart computer w/ floppy inside, select "Start Windows w/ CD Support" Voila!

Does this work with Win98SE? When I right-click "My Computer" and "Properties," there is no "Advanced" tab - only General, Device Manager, Hardware Profiles, and Performance. ?
