Windows ME

[shane94]

Ok I just got me a new computer and having all sorts of problems! It has Windows ME on it as a opperating system. I have a Memorex CD burner and it will not even work with it! You hook it up and in my computer it will just flicker (the icon) anyway does anyone else run this system??If so have you had a lot of problems? Maybe I just need to put my windows98 on it (=:

When I installed Windows ME I had LOTSA
errors! (must be More.Errors).. Then I
installed Windows 98 again with (almost)
no problems...

Forget about that shit

it eats up alot more system ressources and crashes ALL the time.(apart from beeing slower too) man i just had it PREinstalled on my new PIII 800 and it fucked everything up.. get back to goo dold windwos 98 or even 95 LOL http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

well the experts say that ME is supposed to use less resources. but is very hardware sensitive

[Jonathan Craig]

Either you guys have old betas of WinME or fuckedup hardware, 'cause we use WinME on almost all workstations with NO problems at all! (In fact, most of them are running 150% longer than Win98 machines ..)

Plus, we've done testing with numerous stress-test programs and WinME is over 60% faster than Win98.

Seems like you should get a stable version of WinME. =)

[Mr Coctail]

Jonathan, you seems to be the only one who
thinks Windows ME works http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

WindowsME sucks. My IE 5.5 crashes lots of times per day! It's getting me crazy! I don't do anything wrong, I just browse some sites (adult or non adult) and it crashes for no fuckin reason. And then I have to press reset.

[Jonathan Craig]

Think it works?

We run it on 20+ workstations here and have done so since early betas, close to a year now, and have never ever had any major problems. Much less probs than when we were running Win98.

So I don't think. I know so. At least for us. =)

[Adultmaster]

I think ME is fucking shit.
Kill it.

Ya correct http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Seriously

did u see any MAJOR , REALLY FUCKING PROGRESS since windows 95 ?

I mean even if i had to install today win 95 (ok win98 is better cuz of fat 32 and some smalla dvnatages) i would work the same way i work now

SO dear BILLY if u hear me what about progress? http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Win ME sucks... how can Microsoft actually RELEASE such a shitty product?? Oh yea... forgot its Microsoft... anyways

I loaded up with 256MB of RAM the thing crashes when i do ANYTHING... ie yesterday i was playing a dvd movie while updating my site so i switched to cuteFTP and it froze, i had to restart

I get one of these instances almost EVERYDAY since my computer came! Anyways i dunno what Im gonna do, never got around to installing win98 too lazy...

Just install windows 2000 its alot more stable then ME could ever hope to be.

[Mr Coctail]

yeah, but if you don't want your OS to
eas up alot system resources, DONT install
Windows 2000 http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[sandman]

Mr Coctail you are right but im running it on an athlon 500 with 256 megs of ram and i leave 5 dreamwaver windows open along with 5 ie 5.5 windows while extracting a movie and my comp never crashes http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif Plus i only reboot my comp once a week http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif Have you ever seen win 98 after its been running 7 days straight? Assuming you have 128 megs of ram and at least a p2-400 win 2000 is much better then any other microsoft os

[magnatique]

there's no other solution than win2K guys :-)

really... lemme check how long it's been up now...

oh, only 62 hours... because my family went over this week and thought they needed to close the computer...

I always stay up for over a week without closing... usually do 2-3 weeks up...

that's without any reboot or crash..

Only down point is some games won't work, but who cares http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

it's stable as shit, and if something crashes, it's never (or almost never anyway) gonna require a reboot..

[sandman]

Well said magnatique

[EricTheRed]

I would also like to "echo" Magnatique's
thoughts. I use win2k on my laptop as well as my desktop and also on most of the desktops at work and find it a hell of a lot more stable than win98/95/ME. I have rebooted my desktop ONCE this month http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif I rarely experience system crashes. I will say make sure you have a fairly strong PC. I recommend 256MB ram, although my laptop runs fine with 128, however it's not my primary computer and if it was I would have 256MB in it http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif.

I have my workstation running Win2000 and my graphic artists' workstations are all running Win2k as well..
Why?
It is amazingly stable, and you have major control over system functions..
so for a kid that grew up on Dos 3.1 the more control the better..
however if you don't know shit about the technicalities of computers then you probably should be careful...
hehe, no wait, if you don't know the technicalities of computers and your entire business revolves around them then my advice is to get off your lazy ass and learn http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

I miss dos :'(
