NExt time Djinn, get Win2k Pro.. And install it over ME, choose to upgrade the system. That way all your data can be backuped, then you make the serious installing of Win2K. OKI, you need some patches and drivers, but now thoose patches are uptodate. Believe me, I´m a former Win2k and ME sceptic. Still a ME sceptic. It behaved as badly as I suspected for me. Win2k however is great!
Has worked real well and has so far given me very few problems!
