I tried upgrading to Win ME when it first came out . . . it froze upon searching / installation for hardware and never got past that point after multiple reboots.

I reformat / repartition the drive I'm installing it on, i.e. clean install. Same error.

I take out my SB Live card, Win ME installs. I put it back in and choose Add New Hardware, same problems. I have 2 other friends who have SB Live cards in their systems. One has Win ME running just fine, the other friend is stuck at the same point with me.

I know these problems are usually system specific, but can anyone shed some light on this problem?

try putting the soundcard in a different slot...sounds like an IRQ conflict...
