Peter, can you please confirm - or rather expand - your answer(s) to Noel
in
your previous thread.

Noel asked :-
"What is the source of the disk? - is it one that was prepared by an OEM
specifically for the laptop you used it on?

You replied :-
"The software didn't work on my pc, so i tried it on my laptop - just to
see
if there was a problem with the disks (bought new and sealed)."

In other words, are you using a 'genuine' MS WinMe (retail) either Full or
Upgrade CD, or is it an OEM CD?

You refer to "disks" (bought new and sealed) - which suggests that they
are
OEM CD's. If so, and this is where the water becomes muddier, it is VERY
UNLIKELY that they will let you 'upgrade' your current system. Hence the
error report. However, you *may* be able to do a 'clean install'

Please give details of your "bought new and sealed disks" as requested by
Noel in his final post in the previous thread. My guess is that it's not a
memory issue that you have, but the SU0410 error is referring to you
attempting to 'upgade' from OEM disks, or a 'mismatch' due to
machine-specific OEM disks.

BTW - The minimum requirement of RAM being 32Mb - according to the
'setuptip.txt' file on an MS WinMe (retail) CD.

i'm trying to load windows me, but when i get to the "checking installed
components" i get a su0410 error - c:\wininsto400\msdxwin.inf
missing/damaged or not enough memory.

1) What is this file? how can i re-install it from my windows 98 cd
2) when it says not enough memory does it mean memory on hard drive or
RAM?
what's the minimum RAM for windows me?
