Firstly, this is a problem with CDs created by the company, and thus only they can know the solution to that. The software on those CDs is not public domain. You will have to phone them and quote that error to them. Or you could ask any half computer literate person to format and reinstall Windows 98 (not ME). 98 looks identical and has less bugs. If ME works on it then 98 will too, and better.
Secondly, the term factory settings is silly and the 'master cd' idea is false. A computer is not like an LCD game where you reset it back to defaults. There are no 'default settings', and windows ME was not put on in a factory. They put the computer together like lego, you can use a range of hard drives, a range of motherboards etc. Then, they decide what operating system to put on there. They chose the worst one - windows ME. A better one is Windows 98. And if the computer supports it, then Windows XP is more modern. To install Windows, they did not use any 3 disk set 'master CD', they laugh at that, that is something they give because it's the culture and they know it's stupid. No, the only 'master cd' they use, is the Windows CD. A CD that millions of people around the world use and are intimately familiar with. Once they sold you the computer, they then produce a 'master cd' so that you don't have to install drivesr for devices(put in CDs or run setup files to install devices), but also, so that users stay dumb and need their technical support
