Phoenix Bios or Windows ME?

(1/2) > >>

anphanax:
Recently, I changed the num-lock setting for boot in the Phoenix Bios setup screen (for an e-machines computer if it matters), finding after I saved my settings and rebooted, windows no longer worked.

Here's the message i'm getting (BSOD):
Windows Protection Error. Please Restart Your Computer. System Haulted.

Is this a Microsoft Windows ME problem, or some sort of issue with the CMOS?

I am aware this isn't tech support, but I don't understand how a change in the num-lock configuration would make an operating system unusable..

Edit: This computer isn't mine, and I'm assuming the owner will be quite mad when they find they can't boot into Windows.

Of course it's a problem with Windows ME. Why are you even using that crap?  Windows ME barely handles booting correctly, it sure as hell isn't going to handle you changing something as well

then why are you messing with the bios settings?

change numlock back to off perhaps?

I always tell then that their computer could get fucked when they let me on it. They usually let me use their computer dispite that, because they can always use mine and I help them with their computer.
