There may have been complaints, but I am using the gameport version of
the MSFF with the 3.02 software in WinME and it works great. Always
has. That doesn't mean that other people haven't had problems, but
what it DOES mean is that the gameport MSFF with version 3.02 software
on WinME DOES WORK. If it DOESN'T WORK in your case, it ISN'T the
operating system or the software that's broken.
That's unfortunate, because WinME is far more stable than and previous
version of Win9x, in my experience. Since it DOES WORK in my case and
in many others, the error, by nature, does not lie with the operating
system, but the configuration of the hardware running it! If the
whole OS was broken it would cause BSODs and GPF on everyones systems,
no matter what they had for hardware, but IT DOESN'T.
I think this must be a case of preaching to the choir. You probably
hang around in places that validate your opinion. I have no general
impression that WinME is a troublesome OS. I don't hear it from
people and don't have the general impression that people don't like it
and have lots of trouble with it.
People complain about lots of things and they always will. That
doesn't make what they are complaining about defective. How many
copies of WinME have been sold and are in use? What percentage of
those users complain and have problems? A loud minority doesn't
define an overall condition.
And some of us just know how to SOLVE problems instead of just
complaining about them.
