I have ME, no problems with it . I have cable , maybe that is why I have no
problems. When I had phone line , I had a few problems , no more than I had
with Win. 95 though . I am down south of you , the deep south, Sydney,
Australia. Lionel.

I have a question regarding XP pro, too... don't know if anyone can have the
answer or not but ....
I run the dreaded windows ME edition & have had to reformat & uninstall &
reinstall more times than I can count ... I have a store bought HP pavilion
8755c w/800mhz, 128mb sdram, 30gb hard drive, plus my son added another
memory card to bring it up to 383mb total. I also replaced the cheapy modem
that came with it & put in a US Robotics 56k performance pro PCI modem.
My son sent me a copy of xp pro, can I install this over ME? or would I have
to remove all of ME 1st ?
I have problems with.... ( short version) frequent slow downs or freezes,
Odd error messages, will suddenly not find or recognize a program or
hardware item that has always been there, will not hold any changes or
remember simple passwords...i.e. will not remember that I have turned off a
password needed to turn on computer as I am only one using computer....
these can happen for no reason or after I add any software, might not happen
right away, but after running a few weeks or longer.It is like the computer
just 'forgets'? I empty my temp boxes almost daily & scan disk & defrag
pretty regularly. after my last total reformat it took 2 weeks before I
could even get it to dl any thing , including a patch from microsoft. I have
not had any virus problems ( knock wood) & I run the free version of AVG for
AV, plus my ISP ( slowwww dial up, that likes to disconnect for no reason,
but no other choices for me) has a mail scrubber program that blocks most
virus' before they ever
get to my mail box, in fact it was blocking that new bogus microsoft patch
attachment one before any AV programs were sending out warnings about it.
I would love to get my programs back on. I don't do heavy computing, mostly
email. but like to play with PSP7 & only make simple tags ( so far) and
hubby has a digital camera & I like to resize them & fix them.
okay, deep breath... tried to keep this short, really ...
so, in short, could I install XP pro right over ME & would it really make a
difference with the gremlins I have to keep battle with???
thanks, Faythe
>>>Yes, you can install Office XP onto your ME operating system. The XP in
the
name just signifies to new path of naming MS uses.
