See old thread: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.windows-me/browse_frm/thread/d6e14c203e3ff2a0?hl=en# Crossposted to: microsoft.public.windowsme.general, alt.windows-me In searching for the fastest main board with certified drivers FOR WinME I found myself drawn to the Asus A7N8X family of Socket A main boards (AMD). The A7N8X Deluxe Rev 2 with 400 MHz FSB (Rev 1 is 333FSB) with an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ is actually the fastest Socket A chip they made. This is "7th generation" 32 bit processing technology, new in 2003. Original CD's even include drivers for SATA drives under WinME. Original CD's for the A7N8X Deluxe main board also have DVD player soft…

I have a cd drive on my computer which is not being recognized by ME. I put the ME disk in the cd drive but it doesn't open because the drive is not listed. How do I get ME to open the drive so that I can update drivers on the computer? Could I be able to put the XP disk in and install it from that drive on that computer? Thanks

Adding to the registry from a disc
by Guest carl5544@aol.co.uk- 8 replies
- 471 views
I recently had to reinstall Windows ME. I had previously backed up the hard disk (by setting it as a slave in another machine and transferring everything to DVDs) and had hoped to restore everything by simply copying everything from the DVDs back onto the same hard disk. But for some reason it wouldn't boot ("invalid system disk" message). So I reinstalled Win ME and used the DVDs to manually put back most of my data. However, there are some registry entries (presets for a photo program) that I need to restore to the new registry but I don't know how to do this. I know how to use regedit to make copies of registry keys from the C drive, but how do I get them f…

TaxCut,TurboTax & Windows ME
by Guest MrTom- 0 replies
- 276 views
Neither TaxCut nor TurboTax for this year's (i.e. for tax year 2007) U.S. tax returns lists Windows ME as meeting the minimum requirements for running the tax preparation software. This is a tad upsetting because the only computer I have runs Windows ME. Perhaps one of the packages actually runs on Windows ME. Has anyone tried the tax prep software (for tax year 2007) on Windows ME? Or should I plan to get a new computer? Tom

slow shutdown in WinME which used to be a quick shutdown
by Guest Vince M- 1 reply
- 332 views
WinME has been treating me well for shutdowns, which would usually happen within 5 seconds after clicking shutdown. Recently, I had a power failure while using WinME, and after I had power again, it went through the regular screens where it runs scandisk, computer shutdown improperly, etc., which completed. But now when I go to normally shutdown this PC, it takes much longer, from 45 seconds to a minute. Is there anyway to make the WinME PC I have shutdown much quicker like it used to shutdown? Thanks!

Hi, I have a pc ME that stops to get a password every time it boots. I want it to boot to the desktop, but so far I have not been able to do so. I switch the network thing to windows login, and I also searched for a pwl file to delete, but there was no pwl file on the PC. The PC runs fine, it just always stops for a password, and there isn't any password. Any ideas much appreicated. Mike PS: I searched around via google and microsoft's web site but couldn't find out how to do this.
