    Windows ME and connection problems

    I need help. I just recently installed ME, everything went great, then all of a sudden the other day, when I connect to the internet via Dialup, it connects just fine, transmits data great, but it stops rcvng data at 310 bytes, and will not rcv any more. I have already un/reinstalled NEtwork components, and DUN. I thought that it was caused by a corrupt winsock file, however they have removed the System File checker, or atleast the Run command of SFC. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Windows ME and connection problems

    Thanks for the info about SFC, however after un/reinstalling everything, I mean everything. I finally decided to do a format and fresh install, works great now. Discovered the problem, it was caused by uninstalling AOL 5.0.

    Windows ME

    I know this is an NT forum, but I can not get answers any where else. I was under the assumption that ME was not going to be released to the public until Sept 14th. However I am seeing alot of people (mainly who buy E-Machines) purchasing new PC's w/ ME on them. Did Microsoft release ME to the OEM's for distribution before it is released to the public, or is E-Machines pre-shipping ME?

    Windows ME versus Win2k?

    If you are looking for pure home use and gaming go w/ ME, 2K does not run alot of games well.....IF you are looking for a platform to do more w/ than just gaming go w/ 2K.....The Dual boot idea is also a good one.

    If you like Eudora, then you may like Pegasus Mail, and I believe it is free.

    Removing 2K

    I want to uninstall Win2K from one of my computers. The PC has a drive partitioned into 2 parts, Win2K is on the Primary partition, 98SE is on the secondary partition. Is there any way to remove Win2K w/ out formatting, or w/ out causing an issue w/ 98?

    About Windows ME?

    Why is it every time Microsoft releases an update to a pruduct it seems far worse than the original...... Look at 95, it was buggy, they then release 98 it was a little better, 98SE what a joke, and now you guys are saying ME is worse than 98SE. Why can they not get it right. 2K Pro has yet to crash on me, it has been running continuasly for over a month now w/ out an issue.

    Installing 98 SE w/ 2000

    I downloaded and installed teh program, however it still will not allow me to trick 98 into thinking my D drive is the primary boot drive, I tried booting the system w/ D onky, using the 98 bootdisk, and even dumping the bootdisk files onto D then booting that way. 98 still insist on installing on the C drive........Any other thoughts?

    Turning off hard disk

I am forced to do manual restart when I do I rcv a different error every time, restart again, and everything works fine. Any solutions other than never shut off the harddisk, be the case right now.

    Installing 98 SE w/ 2000

    If I do decide to format and reinstall, in your opinion's should I just leave the drive as is, 8.3 Gig, or should it be partioned. Same scenario, I will be dual booting 2K and 98SE
