Upgrade to XP, Please
Dear [Lynn],
You’re welcome.
I’d highly suggest that you upgrade the ME machine to XP. If you move to XP Home, you can upgrade for under $100. XP has eliminated the old 16-bit kernel components, which makes for a much more reliable system. Fewer lockups and slow-downs, and one errant program does not usually affect others in the system. So, fewer reboots are required to clear problems. I’ve left my XP machines run for several weeks at a time without issues.
