i had a million and one problems with windows me until i found out that the people who built my pc had it underpowered with a 250 watt power supply.
i had a:
msi k7tpro mobo (horrible) imo
a voodoo 5 5500 128 mb apg (still have it, love it)
3 dims 2 128 pc 133 sdram, 1 256 pc 133 sdram
a soundblaster live! card
a modem
an extra fan
an aopen 1640pro dvd drive (love it)and a
creative 8X4X32 cd rwr
and it kept crashing for a year straight, they never told me why and kept jacking me for repairs, so i said screwz it and started to lear to do it myself.
now i know that they were ripping me off for repairs,, because i eventually fried my athlon 900 tbird, and the msi board, replaced it with a ecs k7s5a, and a aopen 300 watt power supply and WINDOWS ME RUNS LIKE A DREAM NOW!
if you have a problem running windoes me, i'd say it's from a hardware/software related conflicts and not windows me.
this is what ive found so far.
