Problem: Windows ME

Windows ME is the worst operating system since....ever.  Windows 95 was a better OS.  You should either get Win 98 or upgrade to 2000 or XP.  All are vastly superior OS'es...

And yes, ditch IE as well.  Firefox is where its at!

Nah, you don't mind if an old car starts acting weird. That's why Windows 3.1 is okay. :D

Even Windows 3.1 was more stable than Windows Me.

Microsoft denies the existence of its own WindowsME now its so bad. I agree, windows 95 even is better.

And never put it with a 733mhz celeron prosessor with 64 mbs of RAM. You're want to put it out the window the first day.

From :  Which OS are you? .  

If you have to use the 9x kernel, use 98 SE. If not, then go and get yourself XP.

Windows 3.1 wasn't a real OS, just a GUI shell for DOS, really..

Windows 3.1 wasn't half bad...neither was Windows 3.0! (I used that too!)

Windows ME is a travesty...even for Microsoft.

Windows ME was something to try to keep everyone happy before 2000 was released (operative word being try). Whenever I am fixing someones computer, and I see that hideous ME logo at boot up I immediately say "Found your problem" and tell them to get a new OS. Its nothing but trouble.

I had a fit trying to install drivers for just a mere network card once...man that was a disaster.

I used windows 3.1. Pretty good when the only other thing you had to work with was DOS (we didn't actually get 95 for around a year or two after you guys back then).

Miss those old days too :( Games were so simple and so fun too...

We went straight from 3.1 to 98 in my house. Now we're both on 2000 (both PCs)...

I'll not upgrade to XP until 2000 support is dropped by most companies...

We went 3.1 -> 98SE -> WXP
However, the other computer in the house (P-MMX 233) is still running W98SE....

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

No, it wasn't. Windows 2000 was released first. They tried to dumb it down enough for the ordinary moron, but couldn't. So they took 98, tried to hide DOS (which is still a part of the kernel, even in ME), changed the interface to make it look 2000-ish, added a lot of crap that creates problems and that you would never use, and there you go.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
