Oh my! I know my advice won't be of much use to you but at least you should know I sympathize (empathize) with you. Last weekend I upgraded from ME to XP and it was not fun. I kept getting error messages until I booted with a Win 98 disk I had. Then XP loaded straight on.

It is much faster than ME and I am starting to get used to the new (different) layout. The downside is that I lost my R/W software (but XP has that built-in), I lost my scanner and my cam because they don’t have XP drivers and I lost my favorite game “Might and Magic VIII” because XP doesn’t like that game. Other than that, I’m glad to be rid of ME.

Don’t listen to the MAC folks. Their experience leaves them with an inability to discuss the “computer experience” much beyond Atari or Pong. The bump-in-the-road you’re current experiencing will pass.

Have a great day.

You can fix that, you know??
