Well thank you very much. Here try this.

Click Start
Click Shutdown
Choose to restart the computer in MS-DOS mode and click ok.

Once at the MS-DOS prompt type the below commands to restore the system.ini

cd\windows <press enter>
ren system.ini system.ch <press enter>

If after attempting to rename the system.ini you receive File not found, continue to follow the below steps.

ren system. system.ini <press enter>

If after attempting to type the above command you receive file not found, follow the below instructions. If you do not receive a message your system.ini should be restored to its original state.

dir system.*

Save the System.ini file and then exit the editor. To save the file, press ALT+F, press X, and then press Y.
Type win to start Windows
