Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the whole point of ME?  It's
supposed to be more stable because it's not designed to run most of those
older 16-bit applications.  Not being backwards-compatible means that (in
theory) it shouldn't be as prone to possible conflicts.

Don't know about the error message---I guess it's no more non-meaningful
than most of MS's error messages.
