Default Window ME not starting up

hen i came to my comp. this mroning, all that was showing was the background, as if explorer had shut down. I had just woken up, so i instead of seeing whats wrong i just pressed the restart key. Now, everytime i start the comp. up, the dell screen shows up, and then it says:

windows ME emergency boot...

windoes corp. 1996-1999*or w/e)


(ms dos) c:\

if i try pressing exit , just a new line of ms dos comes up, if i trey rebooting, same thing happens. I can go to dir and anything else. I was told by my bro to find the windows startup file, but i am not sure where it's located, so:

1. Shouls i try to fin the windows exicutable file, and if so, where is it or what do i type in MS DOS?

2. If not then what should i do?

please answer ASAP, for my i love my computer
