I tried to read the article below, but got a "page not found" message. Are you sure it's correct. I also tried searching for the article Q253, but go no matches. Please try again as I'd like to know why Win Me is so bad, and what I can do to make it run (altho you have to admit that it ought to work right from the start). Win 98 at least ran OK for a while, and there were many more tweaks and cures for it. Win Me never really caught on, and I can definitely see why.
