[jayz]

Could someone plz help me with this problem

(i've had problems with this thing for a long time now, i reformat and reinstalled my pc at least 5 times, and it still has this problem, i use WinME)

thanks so much 4 the help

first of all
Win Me
WAT ARE U FINKING
lol.. jks.. bad choice

Win ME equates to an alpha of a OS lol


well it can be caused by many reasons

what's the Blue screen error?

it can be a hardware fault, it can be Internet explorer playing up, or some programs casuing conflicts

could u explicity state whats running normally, when this error occurs.

I'm sorry to say this, but Winston is right,
Windows Millennium Edition (ME) = junk.

Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
you'll be able to download the latest fixes/patches for Windows ME. (make sure you have plenty of time to download them, if you're on dialup).

hehe yup ME = Multiple Errors

haha excellent acronym


i think about the best benefit ME has, is a decrease in boot up time.. but the rest there is jack all improvement, err maybe system restore and yeah ME is ghey

 

[Jesus]

ugh....WinME and kernel....*shivers*


upgrade to 2000 now......before u have to format

Is WinME still even supported by MS? Last thing i remember was that MS stopped giving support to Win9x and WinNT, and since WinME is off a 9x kernel...

Windows Millennium Edition enters the Entering Extended Support phase (effective date) at the end of this year, December 31st, 2003.

Support will still be offered, up until the Non-supported phase, starting one year after extended support has ended. That is, December 31st, 2004.

As Windows ME was introduced (date of general availability) in 2000, it's product life cycle support/availability effectively ends two years after the extended support phase. That is, December 31st, 2005.

Other points to mention:
"Although Windows Millennium Edition is currently in the Mainstream phase of the product life cycle, given that support volumes are low this product will also continue to follow the previously announced Windows Desktop Product Life-Cycle Guidelines."

For further details, please see this page:
Windows Desktop Product Life Cycle Support and Availability Policies for Consumers

Windows NT's life cycle ended last year, December 2002.
Windows 98 and 98SE has been extended until 2005.

Point to mention:
"Microsoft will offer paid incident support on Windows 98/98 SE through January 16, 2004. Windows 98/98 SE downloads for existing security issues will continue to be obtainable through normal assisted support channels at no charge during this time. Customers can request Windows 98/98 SE fixes for new security issues and these requests will be reviewed. Fixes for any new security issues can be specifically requested through normal assisted support channels."

"Web-based self-help support will be available for at least one year after assisted support has concluded. Mainstream support for Windows 98/98 SE ended on June 30th 2002, and no-charge incident support and extended hotfix support ends on June 30th 2003."

Taking the long-winded way to answer your question, "Yes" Microsoft still support Windows ME, although it is being phased out earlier than had been expected, compared with Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition

um no...

u got it wrong

Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 is declared officially unsupported, and is abandoned ware

Windows 98 is soon to be over as well in a 2 yrs

Win ME still got 3 -4 yrs i think


Microsoft is eventually phasing out their older products and moving people to NT based OS's

with the inception of the Office 2003 Suite, it will not work on 9x based PC's , so Office XP was the last version that was compatible with most Windows OS

The reason for this move was because of security issues which 2K and XP handles better thus making Office 2003 exclusive to OS's 2k or greater

"Win ME still got 3 -4 yrs i think"
- December 31, 2005 end of life. (no online help available after this date).

"The reason for this move was because of security issues which 2K and XP handles better..."
- They were probably getting tired of writing two sets of code for the 9X line as well as the NT kernel.

Security issues = Stability issues?
They go hand-in-hand with the 9X (95, 98, ME) kernel.
The way of the future: 2000, XP, Longhorn.
Or, if you'd prefer:
"Microsoft Windows System 2005 Longhorn Professional .NET Enterprise Edition" (This is a joke by the way, mocking MS's nomenclature/naming conventions )

PSSH wrting for multiple platforms hard?

nah its quite flexible to port, since MS do employ the finest engineers

and... it's just the fact that as you stated the windows rights management is implemented in the Office 2k3 , and it's only a 2k and xp based feature

but i fink this too is just a push for users to upgrade to OS's

PLEASE DONT ADD .NET


people are getting totally mixed up with what .NET actually is..

is it actually a new convention for naming schemes

or is it actually something

more so the .NET initiative is the programming side, and revolving around the Passport

Microsoft, wants everyone to enter their world of services powered by .NET using just one sign in ID,


thats the only reason why Windows 2k3 got named 2003 instead of Windows.NET

Monopolies (that, in itself, is funny) are always demanding more and more bling-bling ($$$).

It's Microsoft, what do you expect.
Every now and again, to please their MSDN customers, they release a patch or two, maybe a new build every day, one or two Service Packs and a "new" OS (note: "new" ).

I've never bent over backwards for MS, but I'm not a fanboy either hehehe.

Even Bill Gates himself doesn't "truly/wholly" understand his whole .NET concept! It's really "something else" or the vision/concept of unifying X, Y and Z technologies.

The .NET initiative, is infact different to the Trustworthy Computing initiative. However, the idea behind having a single Password/".NET" account p) simplifies and eases the transfer and overall maintenance of usernames and passwords.

Imagine having Windows 2003 Server renamed to one of their original ideas: "Windows .NET Web Server Edition", throw in "2003" and it simplifies it to some extent.

The same can be said for the IPT trial paper, there (might) be some users who don't know what "Windows XP" is, so having it in the multiple choice section may have been ambiguous, if there was a query asking for "OS>=98" (which was the case).

Ahh ok. I read about this not long after XP's release

So I haven't been paying attention...meh

Yes, I meant MSDN customers. (Microsoft Developer Network).
They are always pushing, alongside TechNet to get patches out and Microsoft has to keep their customers happy. It's part of their agreement (I have read this somewhere).

For example, MS customers need funds to be injected into certain areas, so one way of doing this is to push for further upgrades. When you talk about patches, and "MSDN customers" being entitled to patches, this isn't necessarily the case. MSDN customers are entitled to beta, cd images and other support documents, (since they are paying through the nose for it!).

Yes, MS is successful

Yes, the MSDN Universal subscription, which I was alluding to.
It's a couple of thousand smacko's per year. (Cha-ching! $$$)

Yep, with the MSDN universal account, you get everything.
I'm only interested in the CDs and support material/articles, but of course, the occasional beta isn't too bad.

Have you read about the 'hacking' incident? Access was given to all sections. Eventually MS shut down BetaPlace for a while to fix up their systems. Connexion I think it was had been the storage location (where MS Premium customers DL).

Everything eventually slips out into the mainstream/public anyway, you're not missing out on anything.
