Jafo, it's been awhile since I've ran 3.11. As far as I remember I can't think of it crashing and if it did, it was easy to fix. Am I remembering correctly?

Went to XP Pro so could use WindowBlinds3 features and been running it day before the launch.

Originally had Windows 2000 Professional but always loved Pro version because of stability etc as thats what businesses look for

Yes, WOM... 3.11 didn't cause many problems, but when it did it was real easy to fix...
Ah, the good old days.

Sure getting a lot of interesting feedback here, I appreciate everyone taking the time

I *was* running Me on my 'puter up until two months ago...I thought it was a pretty good OS, but seemed to crash a lot during the last six months or so. > So I caved, and bought XP Home...I wiped the drive and did a clean install, wow, what a difference! I had some headaches with the upgrade, but that is all water under the bridge, and I'm happy now!

XP was the easiest install I've ever done, ME was always a nightmare, never once did it install without a slew of problems. I had reached a sort of understanding with ME and could usually install it without TOO much hassle, but XP is like a dream in comparison...

All Linux distros are free to download, but they leave out a lot of applications and features. If you pay, they will send CDs with a lot of extra stuff. They don't provide support if you don't pay...

Drive 1: Partition 1 - Win200 Pro
Partition 2 - Win98
Drive 2: Win XP Pro

XP is the main OS, 98 is for digital camera (with no XP driver), and 2000 is for backup (in case something goes wrong with XP).

Dual boot, Windows 98 and Windows 2000. 98 is just for Duke Nukem 3d (won't run on 2k) and for the occasions when Win2k won't boot. 2 weeks ago Win2k couldn't find the Software registry. It was corrupted, I guess. It took a week to get everything working again. Had to reinstall all progs, patches, etc..
But in the meantime I could access my e-mail, the internet, etc. on the Win98 partition.

WOM...the quaint trick with 3.11 is you run Calmira as the shell and you can get the 'function' and 'appearance' of ME without the crashing....

I am using XP Pro now and loving it. Prior to that I was running Windows 2000 Professional. I have also used Win 3.1, Win 95, Win 98, Win 98SE, and (I am almost ashamed to say this) Win ME. I ran Win ME for about a day and quickly uninstalled it. What a piece of crap that was (for me).

Well Jafo, I don't have 3.11 anymore, but so far this ME hasn't messed up since I've reinstalled it 6 weeks ago. Holding my breath.
