Default New PC, ME with old BIOS - Thread's too long!!

Sorry guys - looks like the sub-thread is too long, it won't let me add a
further reply to
your message Mike.

FWIW - I've started new sub thread which was only to say :-

example you are suddenly unable to access Help without encountering an
error post back and either Mart or myself will try and help you out.


Only as far as I am able Mike, don't forget I don't have VPC g

I guess my last question is, after installing Win98

CD, are there any fixes or improvements for ME, or was
it just perfect when released?


290700 is essential for system restore to work and I would personally
advise you install all the critical patches that are available for Win Me
from the Windows Update site including IE 6 SP1 but whether you move from
WMP7 to WMP9 is very much up to you. If you have problems in installing
any of these patches or you find that installing one breaks things, for
example you are suddenly unable to access Help without encountering an
error post back and either Mart or myself will try and help you out.

That's the best I can describe it.
I have a hard drive from my old PC
with ME on it. It won't boot in Normal
Mode in my new PC, I suspect because
it was mad with a different BIOS.

However, it boots just fine in Safe Mode.
Is there a way to get around this?
(I hope I made it clear enough).
Thanks.
