I don't know if you want to hear this, but I tried Windows ME for about half a year, and I really hated it. I had lots of unexplainable errors, much like what you describe. I really suggest upgrading to Windows 2000 or downgrading to 98. You'll notice your system will work more smoothly.
i agree wiht gus
WinMe is just 98 wiht a few gadgets, and 2000 looking icons.
oh yeah did i forget it cant use MsDos?

IMO winME is a downgrade from 98.
:cool: :cool:
Ya i know WinME isnt the greatest but it came pre-installed on my laptop. The only other os that i have is linux mandrake. I really like it but i am having a hard time trying to get this usb modem to work with it. :)
hmm....i seemed to have that problem as well...i assumed that it was that fact that i have a slow computer and didn't really look up on it though.
/me shrugs
IF I were you, I wouldn't download (9communicator) for "Kazaa or Morpheus" heard they got hack! LOL
The one comment I haven't heard so far is:
Have you disabled you AntiVirus prog?
Even after uninstalling P2P progs I have still had "slowdowns" the problem ended up being the AV. Uninstall - reinstall of the AV, all returns to "ME normal"....
I feel for ya.. ME arrrrrrrrgh..
cheers

This is the same thing that happened to me. It was on my laptop when I purchased it, but after three or four months of getting pissed off everytime I turned the laptop on, I decided enough was enough and installed Windows 2000. I'm a much happier person now :-)
Shake, my suggestion, as stated previously in this thread - upgrade to Windows 2000 while you continue to work through your install issues with Linux.
Well, to be the voice of dissension...I have a dual boot, WinMe, and Win2k. Most of the time I boot into WinMe. I've never had a problem getting it to do what I want, and have VERY rarely had the blue screen of death problem. I use it all the time, and I like it. I would imagine that the answer to your problem is in one of the posts here. There are some very good ideas.
Deb :D
undertaker, an AV program is a must, mebe you should check your registry for errors of bad links, this mebe slowing everything down.
wow this is becoming a big thread
