You never knew about RASPPPoE?

And the apps I've found that don't work are:

Partition Magic 5.01
PSXCopy 6.2
Netscape (ahaha)
...working on finding more :D

Partition Magic 5.01

Actually it does work. I know when you click on the .exe it says "This program was not designed to operate under this version of Windows blah blah blah", but it works just fine for me.

Maybe so, but Partition Magic requires a boot into the DOS Command Prompt in order to do any real work.. dang Microsoft :(

PM can still boot into DOS. WinME is still DOS based, it just doesn't have the option for the user to select 'boot in DOS mode'...

What I did when I wanted to make some changes that required booting into DOS mode, I used a regular Win95/98 DOS boot disk, went into C:\Program~1\Partiti~1\DOS\ or something like that, and executed the .exe that is supposed to be run when you boot into DOS with Win95/98.

I was having a hell of a time getting MADDEN 2001 to run with WinME, it woudl run, but always bluescreen right after a game ended.

Anyways, I replaced my TNT 2 with a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, and viola, NO Bluescreen, and Madden 2001 runs like a champ. I have a Asus P3V4X with the Via 133a chipset BTW, and that was causing problems with my TNT 2.

Games that run fine in WinME (for me anyways)
Madden 2001
Diablo II (Direct 3D, Glide doesn't work)
High Heat Baseball 2001
Half Life
UT
Rogue Spear

Madden 2k1 is FINE in WinME. Asus p3xV4, CLAP2 runs like a champ... too bad the damn Pakcers went 3-13 in the first season, and are 2-4 so far in season #2.

I'll second the MDK2 demo.

And I'll third (?) the fact that Madden2001 works ok with WinME. Well, as ok as the p.o.s. can, with all it's problems. EA should be castrated for that one.

My fsckin' Creative Labs Webcam 3 USB won't work! :| I go to load the driver and it says they are incompatible with this operating system. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Damn companies need to get off of their collective asses and start pumping out drivers!

HP Deskjet 2000c software won't even try to install. Pops up a message saying something about an unsupported operating system and promptly disappears.

The printer will work when set as a HP DJ550C but color photo output really sux.
