Default 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.

1. Yes it applies to all Windows systems earlier than Win2000 (and
perhaps not even that in some cases?)

2. 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 serious, Gary. 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.
