Windows Me won't change its colors.
Why can't I uninstall windows me?
Uninstall to what? You can only uninstall an operating system if a) the installation was an upgrade from a previous system, and b) you chose to retain all the files of that previous operating system when you installed Win Me and have not subsequently removed them. Is this the case? If not you need to either format your hard drive and start afresh or, if moving to a later operating system, install the new operating system as an upgrade. Why can't I install windows XP? If you post details of the problems you are experiencing when trying to install XP perhaps someone will be able to help. Why can't I change my colors or pixels? What exactly are you trying to do and how? -- Mike Maltby karma wrote: Windows me won't change its colors and it is not a hardware problem because I installed windows 98 once and I had all the colors then I changed it back to windows Me and later I tried to switch to windows me again and i can't uninstall windows me now then I bought windows XP and I can't installed can anyone give an answer of: Why can't I uninstall windows me?

... Points and comments taken in-line :- Windows me won't change its colors Do you mean from 16 colours and 640 x 480 resolution (looks as if its in Safe Mode) ? and it is not a hardware problem Well, not hardware as such - but may be associated software - i.e drivers for your Display Adapter (video card) because I installed windows 98 once and I had all the colors then I changed it back to windows Me and later I tried to switch to windows me again Certainly sounds like a Display Driver issue. You may have to try to find any CD's originally supplied with your computer and re-install the Video Driver. and i can't uninstall windows me now. Not too sure what you mean. If you 'upgraded' from Win98, there may have been an option to uninstall it (in case it didn't work properly) but there was also a further facility to kill this option if all went well, so that it would then release some 150 MBs of valuable disk space back for your use. then I bought windows XP and I can't installed Maybe you old PC is not capable (too old) of running XP. What error reports do you get when you try to install it? can anyone give an answer of: Why can't I uninstall windows me? It sounds like you've lost the uninstall option mentioned before so the best you can do is to re-format your Hard Drive and start over again. Why can't I install windows XP? See above Why can't I change my colors or pixels? You may need to re-install the Video driver - see my earlier comments above. Mart |

You can if you meet the system requirements. just insert the install disk if you do. Why can't I change my colors or pixels? Your video card only support one resolution, or you do not have your video card drivers installed. |
