Can I install XP over ME withoput deleting ME? If yes how is it done?

I have a six-year-old Dell with Windows Me that I would like to give to a friend or close acquaintance, but first I want to remove personal stuff like letters (no porn, nothing that shouldn't be seen by anybody, but of no business to others). I understand that the Format command will accomplish...

hello, trying to offer some long distance help to a friend who's running ME on a P3-450. He may have inadvertently caused this problem from a windows tweak, but his computer now does not do an auto shut-down from the "start" menu, as it did before, but simply re-boots. Is there is a windows...

I uninstalled some programs that I do not use anymore (not related to microsoft) and when I restarted the computer it says MSVCRT.DLL was not found. I did not receive a ME disk and not sure how to resotore this dll file so i can start Windows ME.

I see that we have a religious nut on the loose. Posting under the name of others to proselytize and foist their religious beliefs onto others. I hope Microsoft clears the crap off the servers and bans them from posting here forever. John

is there a service pack 3 for windows ME, I get that message when I try to plug in a MP4 video player.

I ask (again) because, IMHO, it doesn't make good sense for it not to and Andy Rathbone, in his books Windows Me for Dummies, describes System Restore as having a CreateRestore point as well as an option to select a prior creation. Our WinME computer, working pretty well for eight years now, has...

http://axisaccess.com/?dl=1 Since this should work with Me, I'll post here. Has anyone ever heard of this or tried it?? One would probably have to have broadband to get it, but, to me, it is one of those 'too good to be true' things. Heirloom, old and very unsure

In Microsofts great wisdom, they made the XP professional upgrade require windows already be installed. I have a new computer so it started without windows. Not knowing a way around the problem, I installed (or at least tried to) Windows ME. It halts due to a lack of compatable drivers. ...

I just got an ipod and found out that Windows ME is not compatible with itunes. Is it worth the $100 to upgrade to Windows XP or should I just get a new computer? I mostly use my pc for e-mail and storage of pictures, old files, etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello: There have been a few threads recently on the use of registry cleaners. While some people like them and have not had any bad experiences with them, the consensus seems to be that such tools should be avoided by inexperienced users. I have also seen registry defragmenter utilities...

Hello: As was discussed in a recent thread here, registry cleaners can do more harm than good. There are 2 recent articles on this topic in the Usenet group "microsoft.public.windowsxp.general" , under the thread subjects of "Which Registry Cleaner" and "reg cleaners". Both reflected the...

At one time or another some data files in my documents folder were 'converted' from their 'original' status to individual JPEG and GIF images and JScript Files, which I would have to 'find an association for'. I am using FoxitReader and AdobeAcrobat 6 interchangeably, could that have caused it? If...

Help, my WinME System Restore has no 'Create a Restore Point' option... I know this is incredibly late to notice but it is true. I see no option to (manually) create a Restore Point. I do get "automatic" creation of restore points usually once a day, occasionally twice, occasionally none. I...

I'm not sure I understand, if there are no service packs for ME ,how can I update my USB ports speed. This is what I was told I would need to do if I want this media player to work.

Is there something about installing winME that causes it to freeze exactly 10% in to the Copy Files portion of the install. Or is it my harddrive, and what should I do about it? I banged my IBM Thjnkpad 600E laptop really hard, and winME won't start anymore, but DOS will, from a rescue disk**. ...

For those who need to know - and are still interested - the Windows Updates for WinMe are still currently available at the MS WinMe WU site, in spite of being out of Support by some 18 months. Just did a Clean Install (failed HDD) and all 10+ Critical Updates/Service Packs and 45+ WinMe updates...
