On my Dell 4100, no matter what option on the" We apologize" screen I chose the computer would keep looping back to that screen. After reading many blogs on the subject I found one that mentioned something related to memory so I began swapping the memory sticks ( I was using 2 - 256mb) placing them in 2 at a time(I have 6 ) and getting all kinds of other errors & problems then I decided to put them in just one at a time and suddenly it booted all the way to the Desktop! Perhaps I should mention that the problem seemed to be with the "V Data" memory stick I was using. When I opened up BIOS on the main page it only detected 256mb memory when actually I had 2 - 256mb sticks installed! it wasn't reading the V Data -- That I guess, should have been the tip off but I didn't give it much thought and kept looking for other things that could be the problem so a rather long chain of events finally lead to the solution. Hope this helps someone. This can also be caused due to a memory incompatabilty issue.

No matter what command we try to use on it, the screen will just go blank, try to boot up, and show the same message....over and over and over and over and over and over again. We can't find our repair disks, and F8 doesn't work. Any help for the screwed will be much appreciated. We have the same problem with our dinosaur desktop.
