Look in any newsgroup and you'll find a post about any version of windows
having problems or any other product. Newsgroups threads tend to only be
about problems. If everything is working right most people don't post about
it.
I am running WinME just find with no problems.

Thanks,

No problem with GPL, LWFF and ME here.

Look at any newsgroup, and you'll find a post about ME problems. My
suggestion? Stick with Win98 until they sort out ME to a working solution
(if they ever do).

It's as usual some have problems other don't.
The only problem I had when I upgraded to ME was DirectCD. DL'd the latest
and everything is fine.
ME is very stable on my oc'ed system.
P3-700@840, ASUS 6800DL, ACT-LABS RS, SBLive and some other stuff.

Same here. It's been a god send for me - fast and stable. A few of my
friends have had all sorts of problems with ME though - mainly GeForce
related. (I've got a TNT2)

GPL and SCGT run fine in WinME here, as do a LWFFGP, LWFF and a MSFF
gameport version. WinME is remarkably more stable than Win98* and I
have had few, if any, problems with it.
YMMV,

True, however, Win98 is a much better known OS, and as such support tends to
be a lot better. There is still a lot of hardware which does not have ME
drivers, and as such, I would wait until everything is better supported. I
would like to get my entire network on win2k at the office, but I wouldn't
even think about it due to the driver issues encountered. On a side note, I
had to set up global roaming for a user, and thought Compuserve would be the
easiest. I tried their site - couldn't sign up, tried their support line,
and the official line is to use their software which is available on
magazine covers everywhere! I finally installed it, but I couldn't sign up
over my network ... it required a dialup. I got a machine with a dialup &
modem, and installed the software. I couldn't get it to work, so I called
Compuserve support only to be told that "Compuserve 2000 for Windows" isn't
compatible with "Windows 2000". Talk about fuckwitted. In the end it took
15 minutes with easynet, and it was cheaper too!

Not everyone will have so few problems, or the knowledge to sort them.

Hi Chris,
no probs here with ME - LWFF - GPL or any other soft- or hardware. ME's
system protection and system restore features are very nice to have, and IMO
ME is a decent step forward from Win98 all in all. It's closer to W2K in
many aspects (I use both in a double-boot environment).
Many of the initial reviews said that this is not the case, but after having
used the two together for a while, I tend to think that the reviewers maybe
didn't spend too much time looking closely.
One suggestion perhaps, when you start the machine for the first time, make
sure you are not connected to the Internet (or a large network). It appears
that ME, by default tries to map the network at startup, and if you're
connected to a large network, that can take forever. I've disabled that
feature.
