Assuming you wish to revert to W2K, you would probably be better advised to reformat your HDD and do a clean install from scratch, booting from the W2K CD. If youn have data that you need to save, make a backup to CD or another hard drive before you reformat. Advice on reformatting is available from the PF1 FAQs at the top right of the page More detailed advice may follow from other contributors. Cheers Billy 8-_) |

| 208792 | 2004-01-21 00:06:00 | Well, I booted the computer into dos with cd-rom support using the winme startup disc. I then tried running the setup but to no avail with the same error message 'Program too big to fit in memory'. Any solutions? |
