Whats up with that? beardedwonder Nov 10, 2002, 10:30 PM Sounds like a hardware problem, try removing everything but the video card and then add your other devices one by one. TOOL Nov 11, 2002, 12:43 PM Sounds more like a software problem. WinMe is a virus. I used to have that same problem until I downgraded to Win98se. Badidoh Nov 11, 2002, 05:43 PM Tried XP? Worth Getting & Using 2000 Pro too I dislike Win98/ME I like 2000/XP BryanNH Nov 11, 2002, 06:41 PM There is an issue with WinME and large hard drives - get the system up n running anyway possible, and then go to Windows Update and download the update for IDE Hard Drives - Can't remember the full name of it, but if you use a large IDE hard drive, like yours, then you need to get the update. I'm running WinME on my laptop and I have no major issues what-so-ever. It's a PIII 450mhz, 5gb Hard Drive, 192mb RAM, and it runs great for what it is... XP is much better though ;) |
