Hi Diane, This does not answer your question. It is just more information. I am running Win98se on one computer and WinMe on another. Both are Dell 866 PIIIs with plenty of hard drive and 512 Meg of memory. I do not know what all this talk about WinMe being troublesome or buggy. I have had both systems for 18 months. I do not have much problem with either one. In fact some of the features of WinMe seem to be quite handy to me. I run Norton AV , Zonealarm, ICQ, AIM, Office97Pro(but I do not use the toolbar, ever), WordPerfect 7,several graphic programs and a couple of CAD programs. I stay away from Microsoft Updates entirely. I do not let any auto update program run on either computer. Once a month I check out Norton AV for updates. I have had a couple of hundred viruses attempt to penetrate my system, but none have infected me so far. Both systems have scsi scanners with PrestoPagemanager. Anyway, just my two cents.
