I had ME - can't help with the install questions - but I agree with the tech
support! I am sooooo glad I ditched my ME system - I have xp home - it is
amazing. with ME I had to re-boot several times/day and things were always
freezing or not working - and if you noticed, microsoft never put out fixes for
them - they came out with a new system....
When we put XP on here, I bought a new hard drive - larger. and put a clean
install of xp on here. I have my ME drive still - hooked up, but I can't boot
to it. I was able to get to stored files on there though, like my graphics etc.

thanks Robert, will look into those sites...
I know I used to have a possible problem with my printer, but I have a newer
one now that is suppose to be compatible... my scanner wasn't even compatible
with the ME, so I've been needing one of those a while...
I am more concerned with usb ports, video cards, ect... don't have any extra $$
to spend..
do you think the XP may resolve some of the gremlin issues ? I know when ever I
call tech support anywhere & they ask what OS & I tell them ME, they always
go...'well there's one of your problems...'
>>>sigh>>>> thanks , faythe
That said, I will add this note: It is better to install XP cleanly, that
is, do a clean install, not just an upgrade. However, the compatibility
issues may still arise. I can't use my Epson 1500 (Scanner) on the XP, but
I do use on the ME. Several of my friends use the XP upgrade and had no
problems. More of my friends had problems with the upgrade and just ended
up doing a clean install. I had two printers not to work under XP, with HP
and MS pointing the finger at each other.
