gave up and uninstalled it (took 4 tries due to crashing)......so I
have
one hell of a mess on here, yet WinME is working OK so far.


Something's not right then, I guess! g

Just have all these folders and files that belong to XP and will

try
removing some eventually. I really don't want to format this....so
playing it by ear.

So you're upgrading ME rather than doing a clean installation?

Shane

hmm today's the 25th Figgses last message was the 23rd... I'd take

that
as a "yes".

That I did.......and it was a mess!! I am slowly picking my way thru

the
minefield and removing unnecessary folders and with some help, fixing
drivers, etc. Got that Device Manager Code 15 one cleared up, thanks

to
Noel's instructions.

Poor ole computer....turned 4 yrs. old last week......didn't like XP.

So
if
I ever do put it on again, it will be on another hard drive so I can

dual
boot. Which was my original plan.

Cheers......Figgs

up,
thanks
to
Noel's instructions.

Poor ole computer....turned 4 yrs. old last week......didn't
like
XP.
So
if
I ever do put it on again, it will be on another hard drive

so
I
can
dual
boot. Which was my original plan.

Cheers......Figgs
