About what you said, I felt same thing when I got XP on... I missed 98 but after a while, it's ok and provides less reebooting. Just have to wait for an occasionnal problem stops. :?

Hi Frog! Good to see you again. Be sure to try out our latest flaver of the month. It is called Monster Hunt. It is still a work in progress but oh what progress it has made. Here is a link that should let you connect directly:

I am e mail u so get one from Scify2003 it me

:D :D disregard e mail i sent,got your texture put in the right place and works fine now ty!

windows ME :) ive been using it since it came out and ive only formated once because of mass spyware. yes, i know what most of you will ssay. "Ugg,Win ME sucks" but infact, ive read that windows ME is the most stable OS made by microsoft so far.

i really hate windows XP. its like a cartoon......for panzys. all the colors and and smooth edges. you would think a homosexual had made it. well thats the impression it gave me.....

I used Windows Me up until last march. It was the nightmare extrodiare. If I ever meet Bill Gates I have the legal and God given right to kick him in the nutz.

Imagine lock ups so severe even holding the on button for 10 seconds won't shut down or reboot, ctr/alt/del no way jose, I would have to physically jerk the plug outta the wall. Not a problem though only happend 5, 6, 7 times a night.

Mr. Gates, I suggest you buy yourself a titanium cup, you'll be needing it.

With XP I have had maybe 2 lock ups. Probably because when I multitask, I really do multitask.

As for colors/smoothness/looks, I make mine look anyway I want from boot screen, log on, desk top. No problemo.


Weel enough of my rant. I'm glad Windows ME works for you. At least your one person who wasn't ripped off for an operating system that just flat out did not work.

Ciao, Buttercup :wink:

Not even close IMHO. WinME was the worst OS they ever put out. Again, just my opinion on that. I didn't like the look so much either so I set the desktop to classic view just as it is possible with the control panel. Now my XP looks exactly like Win2000 or Win98. Much better for me. WinME is only Win98 with extras. It doesn't come close to XP much less Win2000 even. It can be proven that XP is by far the best OS MicroSoft has ever released. Win2000 is the only thing that comes close. Analogy: XP is to Win2000 as WinMX is to Win98. That is the best way I can say it but notice that they are in 2 totally different classes that are far and wide different from each other with the NT class way off in the lead being XP and Win2000.

yeah , i can say that win ME doesnt respond well to some programs and it makes them lock up. ive also noticed that some hardware also doesnt like win ME.whether it be the drivers sent with the OS, or just the simple fact that it has poor security.there are some things on XP that i like, but not enough to convert yet.

performance wise, its not to bad. this machine is only a gaming,forum, and music computer. i dont download anything with it and im very anal about spyware.no AIM, yahoo IMSG,ICQ, etc. you could say that the only reason it works so well is because im over protective about it.on the other hand, its better than a mac!even an atari is better than a mac! :lol:

Oh-oh! You don't know what you have just done. Go! Go now and hide. (Insert scream of sheer terror here). You see....saying that M word (Mac), will bring forth the wrath of the [FAH]. I warned you, now quickly, go hide and don't speak of this to anyone. Just hide and pray that the Dark [FAH] OverLord will cast a deaf ear upon thou's blastphemous tongue. LOL

Yeah one of the programs that would lock WinME up the quickest was IE. Go figure :wink:
