windows ME has saved my ass on many occasions

but...

I never would end up getting these errors if I was still on 98SE anyways. I never had problems there, but now ME gives me all sorts of problems. But I use the "System Recovery" deal and change it to a day where I did not have any errors, and i'm back in business.

I am constantly extremely close to taking off the system restore feature cause it's supposedly a resource hog. But if I would take it off I would be completely screwed.

I think microshaft put system restore on ME because you need it on almost a weekly basis...

I am surprised you are having error problems with ME.

Do you have Norton System Works 2001? If so if you run its DiskDoctor program my bet is you are getting hard drive errors and DD will fix them.

ME checks your HDs for errors when booting up and when shutting down. If there is an error then when rebooting ScanDisk will automatically come up and run a test on your hard drive and partitions to check for errors. Fixes the HD errors and then proceeds to boot up normally.

My experience with both Win98 SE and ME is if you have hard drive errors that sometimes will cause problems similar to yours. If you have ScanDisk turned off then that is your problem. User error...

They are not Hard Disk Errors. Please do not instult my intelligence . By errors I meant ME would do something to itself, and all of a sudden have "search" and "windows exploror" run everytime I boot up. You hear of people when this happen they usually reinstall windows to fix it...I just used the restore feature.
