You will have to repair the 2k install after erasing windows me and i dont know if those games will play under 2k. YOu should post this question in the 2k forum also.

Wait!..

You do not have to erase all of your disk or partition C. You can run an eye over "c:\boot.ini" file and erase corresponding lines for WinME. This removes WinME option from boot menu. Additionaly, you should delete "c:\windows" folder. But be carefull about your data under this folder(like favorites, MSOutlook Xpress folder etc..) If u need, back-up them.

Good luck...
