Windows Protection Error
Don't know what to say. I haven't spent all that much time with VPC, though
I do seem to recall a similar case or two while I was playing around with it. Can't remember details. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "William B. Lurie" wrote in message ...

AFAIK, you do not have to first install Windows 98 in order to upgrade to ME. Just start the ME setup.exe and when asked for proof of upgrade eligibility, show it the Win98 disc. FYI, Gary, I just set up a new VPC to try what you mentioned in (2) above. I didn't succeed in getting it to recognize my ME CD at all. It just showed one line of gibberish starting with MAC, with the / and \ spinning.....and spinning...... forever. You referred to the "ME setup.exe" but the VPC creation didn't seem to see the CD. I tried rebooting and so on...but to no avail. |

Not important, just a point of information. I set up two 98 VPCs and upgraded one to Me so that I can do testing in both. |
