In WinME on my dad's system, it works great except when you try to add new hardware. When the "Please wait... up[censored] the driver information database" window pops up it takes like 30 minutes for the blue bar to finish. This isn't mission critical, but it's SUCH a hassle. Anyone have any ideas or should I just reformat and reinstall ME? Thanks in advance, ~Scott~

Try installing or, if you already have, reinstalling Win2k SP2. I had this same problem after installing the 4-in-1's post-SP2. The VIA Tech CPU-to-AGP patch is in SP2. ~Scott
