Windows ME or 98SE

whoisurdaddy

I was wondering what is people's opinion on Windows ME? You guys like ME better than 98SE? I am occasional gamer and I also watch DVD movies with my system too. Also, Windows 2000 is not a choice here.

WinME + Games = ?

UnreaLord

Having witnessed all these controversial opinions,I'd like to ask something: I have both Win2k Prof. and Win98 first edition installed. I use Win2k for internet and work and win98 for games. Would it be wise if I upgraded win98 and installed WinME?I say again that I use Win98 only for games.

Winmill DUN issues

giskard

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows a way to completely remove the DialUp Networking components in Winmill and do a fresh install? This sounds like it should be simple, but it isn't. I work in tech support for a small regional ISP and i found that when people upgrade from win98, their DUN breaks.
