 No Me Gusta...Don't waste your money. XP is way better! May 15, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This thing worked fine for a long time. I bought my laptop used and the old owner reported no glitches with Windows ME. But then I started having major, major problems. My computer would not shut off properly. It gave me the blue-screen of death, as SEVERAL tech consultantst called it. It also wouldn't allow me to install software without an uphill battle. I was new to computers and hadn't heard the term "firewall". So when I finally got a clue, I bought the Norton Personal Firewall 2004 (very good by the way, my next item on the list of things to review here). Well, it wouldn't install. The old owner (a family friend) said he could install it while I did something else. It took HIM (my free consultant) about five hours to put it on. I thought that it might just be a problem with the software but that problem was not a one-time thing. When I finally upgraded to XP, it went on in 15 minutes tops as did everything else that needed to be installed. XP is so much better. ME is a waste of your money.
I'm only giving it 2 generous stars because it worked well for several months before it went bonkers. Oh yes and if you upgrade to XP, make sure to get Service Pack 2, that has a firewall on it already. It's not a really good one (and I would recommend adding Norton or Zone alarm to the Windows firewall) but it's better than the nothing that you get with ME!
BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!!!!!!!!! March 16, 2005

I have Windows Me on an eMachine 667mhz 64 mb ram 13 gb hd. I see blue screens all of the time! When I quit an MS-DOS Program (properly) I get 5 blue screens! Then windows throws a dialog box at me then 5 more blue screens! I am sick of Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want stability, get Mac OS X, or if you hate Apple, get Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Pro or Home)
 Don't try to buy it! February 27, 2005

You get errors/XP installs the Internet for you. ME hates you. XP is your friend. I had ME and I thought It was good. Then I discovered the truth. ME isn't good at all!!! It should be 5.00 instead of 199.99
A Piece of Junk February 16, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have had ME since March 2001. It has turned out to be the worst piece of junk you could imagine. Bill Gates should be ashamed of himself for sticking it to the public by ever releasing ME in the first place. I spend more time with boot up problems, shut down problems and "just trying to get things done" problems. This system couldn't manage memory resources if it's life depended on it - which I guess it does as it keeps dieing on me. In a nutshell: don't buy it! Don't even take ME for free. You will live to regret it if you do.
Windows ME is More Trouble Than It's Worth......... November 18, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been running ME for 4 years. It came bundled with a brand name system I purchased. I had so much trouble with it that I returned the system almost weekly and had it sent in for repair. I had the Hard drive replaced, the CD-Rom, and eventually the whole motherboard. Come to find out from my peers and online: ITS JUST "ME"!
I have to look at a full reinstallation every 6 months or so to get it running right. "Restore" does nothing to help the situation. My restore points are gone by the time I need them.
It has its good points. It runs ok when it's fresh installed and tweaked a bit. But problems lurk.
I would upgrade but my budget won't allow. So for now I'm stuck in BLUE SCREEN LAND. I recommend XP or at the very least 98SE, you'll be much happier!
