Install or not to install WinMe??

What do you say?

 

[FaultCode]

I say NO! Stay with 98SE!

If u are itching to upgrade, go w/ 2000 professional clean install.

Just itching to try out the Me. ^_^

I tried WinME for 4+ weeks and then dropped it like a hot potato in favor of Win2K. My recommendation: stick with 98SE or make the move to Win2K.

If you do go with ME, do a clean install. Way to many problems with upgrade. Dowmload ALL of the latest drivers too.

LOL, what are you talking about. you must of been doing something seriously wrong there buddy

 

[Mem]

The bottom line is there have been too many reports of problems with WinME,wait until Microsoft release WinME SE(second edition) that way all the bugs should be worked out.

My advice is to wait for Whistler. But don't get Whistler. You see by then Win 2K and Win ME will be as stable as they can get so it'll be the perfect time to move to either.

no shi@t man...win2k doesnt crash there pal, youre doing something wrong or you installed it wrong or you just dont have a clue how to operate a real OS...it isnt like win9x, it actually takes some know-how to use.

if you want full control over your OS, and if you want a stable OS, then stick with win2k.

i am also running a dual boot with win98se and win2k and i am also kindof itchin to try out winME, but not after reading problems on top of problems from several frequently visited boards about winME.

win2k hasnt crashed once and doesnt even need to be rebooted, and win98 is stable as can be...why mess up a good setup.

MS should be embarrassed by Windows(screwed)ME, Buggiest peice of crap since windows 95a. This OS should go the route of MS Bob (remember that joke). If your system has the &quot;guns&quot; and compatible hardware , do youself a BIG favor and get Windows 2000 or stick with 98se. I repeat winME is bad...really bad.

I upgraded to WinME from 98SE and haven't had a bit of problems. If it ain't broke don't fix it...reload DOS v5.0 or somethin'

 

[BCYL]

Wait for a while if you want to upgrade to winME... I would say at least wait until the first service pack...

 

[dabuddha]

me sucks a$$
i hate this piece of crap and as soon as i get time, im going to put win2k/win98se back on here
so many bugs its unbelievable

 

[bluezebra1098]

Clean install is recommended if you do...
No bugs here but be aware that some hardware drivers are not ME compatible for example... Logitech mouse drivers are soon to be released for ME but for now you must use the ME drivers.
Other than that...No lockups, No BSODs, It's fast..so you gotta like that.

 

[han888]

i like win ME, dont have any problem since i installed

 

[f300rc]

I like WinME too....but i need to know how to alter the autoexec.bat. Whenever I try it replaces it with the old file. I've disabled System Restore and PCHealth already.
