With ME I had to reformat every 3 months...it DID teach me to do weekly backups of my stuff though!

I think most of the problem was from not doing a clean install and from something conflicting with Logon Studio. Just a guess.

Running ME now and have had no problems. I guess I could go ahead and install XP, but I don't want to shut down right now.

So, WOM, you bought XP, but you're scared to install it?

Yeah, Werewolf...ME was/is evil! It almost gave me a nervous breakdown!
WOM, you may be right there about your situation. It's definitely better to just back up what you can and wipe your drive clean and do a clean install.
My laptop had XP 'factory' installed and after loving XP I bought an XP CD for my Desktop and wiped my HD clean and XP has made my Desktop puter better than it ever was (and I bought it about 3 years ago from Dell).

werewolf, scared. Not the right word. Having to much fun chit-chatting on the board to shut down, plus talking to elvee on the messenger.

well, I waited a long time before I installed OfficeXP...I was very nervous about it...Am nervous about installing WinXP...I keep hearing about weird crashes and very obscure problems with it.

I've installed it twice already. This will be #3. The only problem you might have is it will tell you some of your equipment isn't compatable:ie printer cd and so on. You might need to go on line and get updated drivers.

Yeah, I had to do that for my sound card...and it was a HUGE download for my 56k connection. So now it's burned on a disk for future reference.
Werewolf...I would definitely try and get all the updated drivers for your system now so you're all set to go (printer, scanner, sound and video card). WINXP is pretty good about having a lot of drivers already available but it's always good to be prepared.

I tried the update manager an hour ago, the only thing it said was that I'd need to re-install Roxio EZ-CD Creator V4. It didn't say anything about my other peripherals (but my scanner doesn't show up anywhere on Win2K anyway, like device manager, etc)
