LOL BAD LOL
You should think about upgrading to Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Windows ME is too full of bugs.
Hope this helps! NATE

You're right, ME stinks and I'm planning to dump it after struggling with it's nonsense for 1.5 years now. Thank you all for the OS recommendations. Can someone point me to an information source that would guide me thoroughly through the reformatting process, including debugging the hard drive while wiped clean? I've had to reformat 3 times (with the help of brand tech. assist., all of with with varying degrees of detail ie, tech fellow #3 noted that I hadn't been instructed to debug the HD at first reformatting ergo remaining virus ergo reformattings 2 and 3)..the process takes 5+ hours (comes with a bonus case of acute delirium) due to multiple call-backs and wait times with tech support. Thank you for your references. Fear Not
the reason Win Me is so bad is they tried making a home version of Win2k, but that comtinued to fail to even meet Microsofts release limits, so they took parts of win 98 and patched the "holes" of their 'new' home OS tooke em only a year of productoiun and testing then they threw it into the markets. I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it.
I don't agree.
I've tried to install 2000 it bugs before the installation is completed, then i've tried xp and it didn't recognized my DVD player and my second HD, i've tried 98 and it bugs all the time...
With Me i'm only reformating my HD once or twice a year and it works very well...
