I am downgrading

Starting TODAY I am downgrading to ME from XP pro. Tired of some memory issues and things.

I am planning on restoring it to the factory settings and instaling only half life and WarCraft 3 to save the rest for images vids and music

The things i do to lower my ping

Downgrading? WTF? Are you insane?

ME crashes when you breath on it funny. XP is a H000GE upgrade from ME.

You are nuts Chan. I couldn't put the Gig of RAM in my machine when it had ME. I had 768 and it still gave me memory errors. XP > ME
ME = CHIKKUN POO

Wow Chan, you have to horribly desperate to resort to such a foolish thing!

No offense, but is it crappy RAM or someother cheapskate hardware?

ok... i'm running xp-pro right now. and along with a couple of other programs, the total memory usage is.....

111 megabytes. that... is... NOTHING compared to ME. And they both use the same amount of HDD space.

Well I am back and on ME.... installing things now, my main CD drive is still pooped out. If anyone knows alot about Hardware, PM me.

BTW with nothing but the bare minimal installed i am only using 1.18 gigs...... That is with all the fatory installed programs like MS works and others

Well that sucks Chan. I had mine go bad. So instead of me going out
and buying another one. I brought a blank CD R-W to my local Wal-Mart
and got the PC guy there burn me a copy of it on a floor model there.
Gave the guy $10 bucks for the trouble and I had a new OS Disk

Whats the big problem with indows ME?!? I have windows ME and I don't even have any problems with it. I hardly ever get any memory errors and it usually runs smoothly. Although system restore never works, but I think that its a program that microsoft spent 1 day on.

Well, XP Pro certainly has more potential, it just depends on how good it is right now. XP, I believe, uses its resources much more efficiently than ME, although it does require resources to be used in the first place

There is an ever-increasing number of sites out there, able to help you get on track with XP Pro. Try http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm, and perhaps http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/strangeservice.htm to help you do some tweaking. It works for me with XP Home

, although it does take a wee while to do.
