Hi
Firstly, i am very sorry for this lengthy posting but I dont think anyone
will be able to help without considerable detail.
A friend has asked me to reinstall Windows ME on his computer following
someone trying to put a copy of Windows XP on it. Obviously that was never
going to work because of the protection Microsoft have put in XP (use on one
computer only). So this totaly messed up his computer. Previously his
Windows ME worked OK. So he asked me to re-install his Windows ME. I have
installed ME many times without any problems.
This time I have a major problem with Windows ME constantly crashing on his
computer. I have done a "clean" install after re-formating the C: drive, to
get rid of all the XP etc.
Sometimes Windows ME works OK for several hours. Other times I get a whole
variety of error messages and sometimes it locks on the destop after a short
period of inactivity. Following a restart and scandisk it may restart OK but
on occasions it wont even start in Safe Mode. I have to use my start up disk
and use scanreg /restore and once I am back in Windows sometimes I then need
to use Restore (fortunately I have set up several handy restore points).
Basically it is very very unstable. I have read as much as i can find on the
Microsoft Database and I have tried reducing hardware acceleration. Also I
have tested my memory with DocMemory which tests OK. I have re-installed it
several times. The problems occur immediately after installation. I have d/l
and installed all the microsoft updates.
I have very little running on startup.
