I own a compaq presario 5003US series with Windows Me. When I try to boot the machine I get an error that says: "An I/O subsystem driver failed to load. Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt, or the system is low on memory." I contacted HP and was told to boot with a windows startup disk and rename the iosubsys file to iosubold (c:\Windows\System\ ren iosubsys iosubold). This did not change anything. The machine came with a recovery cd, but i never performed a user backup and cannot restore use the cd to restore the computer to the factory settings. When I insert the recovery cd the option for factory restore says "no factory image found." I did make an emergency disk, but im not sure what I can do with it. If I could have any input on how to fix this or just recover the factory settings it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
