But, I guess the only thing to do is to start the computer in safe-mode and see whats going on. If you truly want to re-install ME, then re-format your computer(erase everything) and use the install disk and start from scratch.

If you choose to do this, make sure to make a back up of stuff you want to keep, programs, videos, etc.

Found this here:

"No need to format HD - drastic step...
my guess is that you have IE6 and or WMP9 beta installed.
To reinstall Win ME it will be necessary to downgrade IE6 to 5.5 and to remove WMP9.
Unfortunately WMP9 is not readily uninstallable and once you have unsuccessfully tried WinME reinstallation the Sytem Restore method is no longer available.
Download WMP7.1 from Microsoft and store it in a new folder.
I removed WMP9 by deleting the whole Windows Media Player folder and renaming C:\windows\system\wmploc.dll to wmploc.old.
You may need to use safe mode for renaming and deleting (I didn't).
Install WMP7.1 and then reinstall Win ME.
Worked for me.

Good luck."

Did you try renaming the windows to winold and all that other stuff I suggested? When you run the setup, does it make the install directory c:\windows, or c:\winold, or something like c:\windows.00001? If it makes it c:\winold, manually type in c:\windows, or just some name different than winold, like c:\fuknwork. I'm pretty sure it's the windows media player 9 problem though. If you can get into Windows or safe mode, just try uninstalling it and rename C:\windows\system\wmploc.dll to wmploc.old... either in DOS or Windows.

find out the brand and model of your CDROM and see if there is some drivers on the net. but i dont know maybe thats not it. I dont understand what it means "trying to use a system resource which is not loaded" that means that something the cd burner needs to function was delted.

to put it in common words
YOUR COMPUTER IS FUCCED UP

sorry homeboy :(
