When playing games like Triple Play Baseball, the game will crash and return me to my desktop. I've tried shutting down all programs and anti-viruses, but the problem still persists. I'm running on 128 MB of RAM and 866MHz. Please Help! E-Mail me with any suggestions at SportsMH1@aol.com

Gaming on ME sucks because ME was written with no backwards looking compatibility for applications. Even recent Microsoft games such as Combat Flight Sim II have problems working in conjunction with ME. Best solution is to format drive and reload Win98 and leave WinME alone. If you have games that are 6 months old or older that you still like, ME is not a good solution. Also, software manufacturers are not typically going to go back to a game they released 6-12 months ago and rewrite patches specifically for WinME. It's a no-win situation. Bill should be ashamed of himself
