| | Posted: | | | | Scottie Not an attack  but I just wondered why you are still using ME? The longer time goes on the greater chance 'new' software will be incompatable with older O/S Is there a program you use regularly that only functions well on ME? cheers Rich | | |  |

I can't see why it would not run on ME as it is very close to its younger sister XP.,
I ran ME for over 4 years and it was one of the most stable O/S I used.,
I finally updated to XP when I changed PC's in 2005.., and of course very happy with Xp SP2 Pro. ME is nothing like XP under the hood and was a huge step backwards from 98. I refuse to do any support for ME in my computer consulting business because it was nearly impossible to fix. |

| | Posted: | | | | Well I don't know about impossible it did have the Restore feature of which the other three didn't have ( 95/98/2000), plus I found that it was able to install a lot of drivers over the other three as well. You need drivers for that old printer, more than likely in the data base over '98 any day.
But There was a lot of processor chipped MotherBoards from Dell ( the E machines) that was a real cheapo PC, and there were problems with ME, I agree. But in my situation, I ran just fine and it had its day and it is now not being recognised for upgrades and patches etc., But to say it was impossible to fix., I never found that in 4 years,. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

My understanding is that Me is build on the 95/98 framework and XP is built on the NT/2000 framework. I could be wrong. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

I have Windows ME currently and thus can't upgrade. I have the premium so will I still get all updated profiles and everything with 2.5? Thanks in advance. Not to be harsh, but you really need to upgrade your 8+ year old OS! |

I finally updated to XP when I changed PC's in 2005.., and of course very happy with Xp SP2 Pro. ME is the last OS on the DOS+Win Branch, whilst XP is from the NT Branch. They have nothing in common except for the general look that is common on all MS OSses since Win95/NT4. Don't let MS ever fool you: All 95, 98 and ME were based on DOS. Windows 95: DOS 7.0 + Windows 4.0 Windows 98: DOS 7.1 + Windows 4.1 Windows ME: DOS 8.0 + Windows 4.9 Whereas the NT line: Windows NT 4.0: NT 4.0 Windows 2000: NT 5.0 Windows XP: NT 5.1 Windows Vista: NT 6.0 The system identified themselves as above. You can try it xourself. Simple run Start->Run->command or Start->Run->cmd. There you can see your exact version. | | | Karsten

To be honest I have not had the opportunity to test on Me, only 98, 2000, XP, and Vista. 98 functions but is not stable. It's possible Me may work, but not especially likely. However, I have today ordered a copy of Me for testing. I'll update this post when I have more information. The copy is coming from Austrailia though  , so it will be a few days. Currently my only access to the internet is at work and, due to other programs not running on anything above Windows 98, I am unable to upgrade to XP or Vista for the foreseeable future. Would I be able to get 3.0 to install on win98, albeit unstable? If so, how would I go about it? You say you've tested it. How was this done? |
