 I retract my original review..............infinite fold!!!!! January 8, 2002

The ONLY reason I'm even giving this software a 1 is because negative numbers aren't available. My computer did fine with ME until I installed Office 2000 pro, and updated my office files. After that, office didn't work anymore. I had to uninstall and reinstall office to get it to work again. Then after I did that, the system became unstable, and when I rebooted the computer, it corrupted my registry, and told me I had to reinstall windows. Upon trying to do so, the upgrade created more problems trying to install. It kept corrupting my registry, and wouldn't install without a hassle. Like someone else said in a review, Windows ME is nothing but a cardboard box with a label, and a CD. This operating system IS A VIRUS! Stay away from it. Windows 98 SE, or Windows 2000 would be your best bet, and if you don't mind living in the cave man days, and for as long as programs are compatible with it, you'd be better off staying with Windows 95 (as long as it is version B or C). I hope this review will be somewhat helpful. The ONLY thing I miss about ME is the movie maker, but I can live without that. Even the system restore was junk, doesn't work at all. If you need system restore, purchase Norton Systemworks 2002, which has GO BACK on it, it's the same function, and it WORKS!!!

I purchased a Dell with Windows ME, and what a huge mistake! ME is the most unstable version of Windows EVER! Go with Windows 2000 Pro instead. And be aware that Dell will not work with you to correct any issues with ME.

When I got my new computer from gateway, it came with windows ME. At first, I thought it was better than Windows 98, until I tried to run Microsoft Word 2000. Crash! When ever I try to run any program, 95% of the time it crashes! I had to erase the hard drive and install windows 98!

Windows Me is just a carboard box with a cd inside. This is serioulsy the most horrible version of Windows EVER created. My computer doesn't even function right anymore after I reformatted. Just dont buy this version. If you must buy windows 98 Second Edition. Far better! Now i have to fork out more money to fix my computer. P.S. Dont buy your computer from Best Buy and MicronPC. I spent a good sum for a nice computer and it broke and no one is willing to fix it. They told me a software problem. WINDOWS ME. Thats the biggest problem right there. Save time, Save Money, Save your Nerves, buy another version or get LinuX.
 It's a decent operating system November 13, 2001

The only trouble I really had with windows ME was trying to upgrade from windows 95. It wasn't until I had updated every single file on 95 that ME was successful in upgrading. That may have been the only reason that ME wouldn't upgrade when I first loaded 95 onto my system. I tried to do a clean install using the upgrade and got as far as the first reboot and had to reinstall windows again. But once I loaded 95 onto my system, updated all of the 95 files, and got all my hardware and software loaded, I had no trouble getting the upgrade to work. Since I upgraded, I have been very pleased with the way ME works for me. I use Norton System Works 2001 with ME, and it does a fine job of keeping my computer error free. My computer has had zero blue screens since my upgrade. I give this product 4 stars because of the trouble I had trying to install it, but if you can get passed the installation trouble, it proves to be a stable OS. I wouldn't recommend it however, if you have an old machine with older hardware. A lot of things from 1998 on back, are not ME compatible, and ME cannot support a driver for those things either. But any systems, 1999 or newer shouldn't be a problem. What else can I say? I LIKE IT!!!!
