| 254314 | 2004-07-22 09:37:00 | I have been told that if one u/grades from W98 to ME but then decides to remove ME & go back to W98 this is not possible as ME changes the BIOS permanently. Correct???? TRUE or FALSE??? | amyes5 (2773) | ||
| 254315 | 2004-07-22 09:42:00 | False Sounds like rubbish to me. But I wouldn't upgrade to ME, it's got to be the worst Windows ever. Stick with 98, or Windows XP. robo. |

| 254318 | 2004-07-22 10:09:00 | Don't agree. I learned about computers as my first computer came with WinME. WinME is to me like a pair of old slippers. Very happy with it |

| 254319 | 2004-07-22 10:17:00 | What amazes me apart from all the memory management bugs they built into it is the fact they completely removed System file checker and replaced it with File protection system, which means you can't repair the damn thing, This more often then not requires you to reload windows.... and surprise surprise, they built a bug into that as well that so far has affected millions with an aborted install. So you go from having a few bung system files to complete and utter suicide of your operating system and all your data in 3 easy moves. Nice move Microsad,....98 is far superior And why the heck would they build a cut off date into System restore? |

| 254320 | 2004-07-22 10:31:00 | no OS changes the bios. personally i prefer win98se. however an upgrade from win98orginal to ME is proberly a good idea but don't do an upgrade, do a clean install. other trap for upgradeing OS's is driver support. make sure you can get all the drivers for your hardware. bit of a pain if you upgrade to ME and theres no ME drivers for some of your hardware. |

| 254321 | 2004-07-22 10:40:00 | ME is win98 with a few badly implemented bells and whistles,the drivers are one and the same. | metla (154) | ||
| 254322 | 2004-07-22 11:19:00 | >the drivers are one and the same. NO. not all 9x drivers will work with ME. some hardware requires specific ME drivers to work correctly. |
