upgrading ME to XP
by Guest Nicdig- 2 replies

HI, someone has an ad in the newspaper that is selling an older pc that she says she loaded it with XP and it runs good. However, in the event of a reinstall needed, the recovery disks will be reloaded with ME (which she will provide with the newly upgraded older pc) Just what kind of differences (physically and mechanically, etc) will there be if an older pc is upgraded from an ME, to an XP home edition. I have a 2 yr old laptop with XP home. WIll the windows, icons, prompts, etc look the same on both pcs with XP even though older pc had ME once? hope my question makes sense as I havent seen the older pc w/Xp

ME...DOS ERROR 4

I had been running a Clipper application successfully for the last 18 months. A few days ago I reinstalled ME after formating my hard-disk's C partition. I have 40 Gb HD, partitioned as C and D. The following statements used previously were duly incorporated: Autoexec.bat Clipper = F100 Windows\system.ini [386Enh] PerVMFiles=120 The application now does not run and gives a Dos Error 4. Increasing the Files statement upto 240 made no difference. Installed the application afresh but no success. Any ideas, hints, advise ??

Copying WinME Feature to Win98SE
by Guest Abraham- 1 reply

I remember that, when the Recycle Bin first came out, it was useless for restoring files deleted from a floppy disk. So I copied Windows Undelete from the old install of Win3.1 to Win95, and it worked fine. I still use it with Win98 floppy disks. I want to do the opposite of that. I want to copy the following features of WinME to a CD before I uninstall WinME, and restore these feature after I restore Win98SE. C:\Windows\DVDPlay.exe Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Communications>Universal Plug and Play Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>System Tools>Compressed Folders Control Panel>Taskbar and StartMenu Windows Movie Maker Window…

When opening any folder and hitting the tools button, then folder options, i seem to have lost half of the radio buttons that i had previously. Half of them are now greyed out and cannot be used. I have also lost my quick launch on the taskbar, and am unable to right click on taskbar to bring up menu. Any assistance would be truly grateful. Thank you.
