Windows ME
 

Thoughts on this OS, I might upgrade from 98. A good move??

Gawd please don't. Not to ME at least. Skip ME and go to XP, or stick with 98. ME is a serious POS.

'Round here they stopped selling ME in the stores. You'd find Win2k, XP Pro, XP Home, and 98. No ME. It's bad.

ME is an unbelievable piece of crap. I was getting 4 or 5 crashes a day when I had this at work. Usually with MS's own software Outlook express. I can't count the hours I wasted before we finally concluded it was ME and not the new computer. I have XP at work now and it works great (although I suspect for my needs 98 would have been a better choice).

I still have ME at home and although it is not as bad as the work incident it does still crash quite often.

A little research on the net told me that ME suffers from major memory leaks resulting in unpredicatable program behavior and crashes

I'm using winME in my computer and never had any problem. XP is not an option since my outdated computer doesnt meet its hardware requirements.

You also might want to upgrade to Windows RG http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

ME is just very picky about drivers an apps. But it is a little better at some things than SE. Just be sure that you put the new installer package in.
