    Whats the BEST way to install ME ???

    I really think he would be better off to stick with Windows 98SE and (as you noted in first reply) would be better off to disregard ME completely. I will pass this info on to him and hope he can use it . Mainly, I believe he is going to just stay with 98SE but it has been so badly corrupted by...

    Lost factory installed drives when I replaced hard drive

    Thanks edfair but the real problem is just that! I CANNOT boot the restore disk. The boot requires a "BOOT BIN" program to open it and when I attempt to start the boot I get the prompt that this is not a " VALID WIN 32 APPLICATION" Therefore I am unable to boot the Compaq recovery disk at all.

    IExplore General Protection Fault?

    This video card appears to be something involving "GAMES" etc. This McAfee optimizer program I am attempting to use is a program to optimize my P/C hardware and components.(i.e. check them for possible problems)
