Holy crap, from what parralel universe did you get your copy of Windows 98se? :-D Every experience and comment I have had on or from W98 has been bad. When it came back I even swapped back to W95, something I have only ever done once before and that was with CuteFTP. Shocking OS, and ME just added more crashable bells and whistles. W2K was good and while XP is not as stable I am putting up with it for the benefits. Bottom line: W98 should never have been made. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

Windows95 was the worst one, gave error almost straight away: System Is Low on resources Do you want to quit the following application Windows 98 just froze. If I left it for a week, probably it would have responded to START menu. Win2k was the best. No freezing, no error message. Although memory usage went to 1.5 GIG (my Machine has 310 MB), still didn't crash. After closing the application, memory usage went to normal which is usually 150 MB. rrrado wrote: it's not possible to run some games on W2k That's true, but I don't play games anyway :) Venet -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)

Don't get me wrong, XP is great. XP has only crashed once with me, and I was trying to install 5 apps at once to get things going on a reinstall. So my fault, I guess. However I do find that VS.NET crashes about once every two days with me, especially when saving CSS and ASPX files to a web server. I blame that more on VS.NET than XP. Also I am running XP on a machine which could do with a bit more of a kick (PIII 400mhz, 256 ram) and I tend to load a lot of stuff at once to get my job done. All in all I am happy with XP, it does what it says and it is a great experience, cool UI. Just it is not as stable as W2K which never fell over with me on the same machine. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

What about old machines that cannot possibly run Win2K or WinXP? So the solution is: Linux. :) Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)

Well I suppose you can always use VMWare, to setup WinME only as a communication interface and then to use Linux to access Internet through WinMe. But probably that's just too much hassle. Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)
