to be usefull at least 512MB of memory,(256MB is s l o w ) plug and play cards (hopefully you already have them), a fairly big hard disk Windows folder can take around 3GB of disk space alone, so allow minimum of 40GB hard disk.\nAnd as said a copy of Win XP in whatever flavour you can afford, try for the best rather than the cheapest Media and Pro have much more functionality and also remote assistance Home does not. And don't worry too much about speed, I ran XP on an old IBM 600MHz PC without problems, and not that much slower with 512MB memory.

You need to agree to them checking your windows is a genuine version before you can load updates.  If it is genuine you have nothing to fear ... if you don't agree then you wont get the updates which is a risk.

Get a copy of windows (full, not an upgrade!)\n\nThen go into you boot menu (BIOS) by pressing the 'del' key or sometimes 'f2' when you power-up\n\nChange the boot device priority so that your cd/cd-rw/dvd rom/r/rw (cd drive! lol) is first to boot\n\nInsert your windows disk.. and save the changes in the BIOS.\n\nThe comp will reboot and ask you to 'press any key to boot from cd' (do this!) and follow the easy prompts!\n\n>>>>>ReMeMbEr To BaCk-Up YoUr MuSiC tHoUgH!<<<<<\n\nRegards, Mike =)

VERY GOOD IDEA!  ME is crappy.  Just be sure not to forget Service Pack 2 on your new XP machine.  I would recommend you start with a clean install.  Good luck.

I am sure there will be an upgrade package.\n\nOne point to be aware of though. If you decide to upgrade, make sure you are willing to part with some of your hardware and software programs. When I upgraded to XP, many of my software programs would no longer work.  I also wound up replacing my trusty old printer because the company did not provide new drivers to support it. Perhaps all the companies were in collusion with each other . . . I mean what better to get a lot of business!

windows me has more bugs and pitfalls in it than all of the other windows operating systems combined. do yourself a big favor and install something else ... anything else. :)

PLs update on software at a time, try not to go for multiple updations at the same time, also check the serial key of WinXPsp2

if you saved your old settings then its just a matter of going into add remove progs and uninstalling xp and that should leave you with your old me. \n\nif you didn't then I'm afraid the only way is to format drive as you can not install an older version of windows over the top of a newer version (windows will not let you do this) no matter what way or how many times you try . \n\ni recommend you keep xp as there is no more support or security/patch updates for me.most software now being written will be for xp and vista. but at the end of the day when it gets dark its your choice.

Windows ME sucks.  It's very unstable and prone to crashing.  I would recommend trying to upgrade to XP.  Contact your computer manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc...) to see if your computer will allow an upgrade to XP.  You usually have to upgrade the BIOS, which can be done through the manufacturer's website.\n\nIpod software works in XP

Get windows updates as well:\nhttp://www.windowsupdate.com\n\nIE isn't very secure. Mozilla Firefox is better.

let your current version of windows load then put in the new windows cd and select upgrade
