Comment: Hi
I have been having problems with win ME ever since I intstalled it, doesn't run smooth, hangs, lots of error messages etc etc.
I was very happy with win 98 though as it was a very stable fasr running os.
Can I just just (re) install win 98 "over" win ME without getting rid of ME or do any formating etc?
thanks for your help

Reply: (edit)The Windows 98 program will give you a notice that a more recent version of Windows was found on the hard drive.Follow on screen instructions.You can also remove io.sys,msdos.sys ,command.com and the Windows folder before you setup a copy of Win 98.The programs will have to be re-installed in the same folders to keep any saved data you want to retain.If you don't wish to keep the old files, format the drive and setup Windows like a new setup from the bootable cdrom or with a boot disk and cdrom.Good luck.

Reply: (edit)Don't go back to 98 until you have tried the tips on the homepage link on this response. Your system should then run perfectly well.

Reply: (edit)Do not uninstall ME. Like Trev said, a few tweaks and ME will perform beautifully. I wouldn't trade ME for anything right now. Here is also a link you can try: http://www.techspot.com/guides-os.shtml Scroll to the ME section and READ. Learn how to solve a problem instead of discading it. Most problems with ME are due to user error and not the fault of the OS. With a little understanding and know how, any of the problems you are encountering can be solved.
