UPDATE: Minerva's computer problem is getting worse!!

Now I cannot start Windows at all!!

I have sorted out the CrashGuard, changed the Config.sys etc. It ran smoothly. I used Norton system check and disk doctor, and found no problem. I was happy then.

I then ran optimzation. Restart. Windows' opening screen showed up, followed by the messages:

And,

Alt+Ctrl+Del showed the Explorer is not responding, but if I tell it to end the task, all icons and task bar disappears. Just blank screen.

I used the Emergency disks (both Windows and Norton Disk Doctor), and fixed the problem which appeared while running them. Yet, I still have the same message and cannot start (Bizzarly, I can use mouse in the Windows, but whole screen is just frozen).

As I can start from Safe Mode, I thought of running FDISK and reinstall Windows (I don't mind a few hours of reinstallation process), after saving necessary files. But I cannot use my CD-RW from the Safe Mode for some reason. I don't want to spend hours to save files onto dozens of floppy disks, if I can.

HELP!!!!

PS. I'm posting from a computer in my research centre...
