If you are using an XP upgrade disk than it will "upgrade" you system without bothering your personal apps or files. However experience shows that the system will not be as stable as a clean install.   384 megs of RAM is enough.

If you did not delete the files from Windows Me during the installation, you might be able to remove Win 2000 through the "Add-Remove programs" in control panel.\n\nBut why do you want to remove it?\n2000 is better than Me as far as I know.\n\nAnd why do you have a problem with XP if you have Win 2000?

You can upgrade, but you need to create a new XP Pro CD with Service Pack 2 - the process is called slipstreaming.  See:

You need to get the XP pro upgrade.  It should come with a new recovery disc.

Hi Maria,\n\nReally, you need to upgrade from ME to XP as soon as you possibly can.  ME is possibly the worst Operating System Microsoft ever came out with.  It is loaded with errors and vulnerabilities.  Until you're able to do this, though, you can try some things suggested in the link I've included below for you that talks about User32.dll errors.  I hope this works for you.\n\nAs far as updating your drivers, just go to the Microsoft Windows Update site (click on Tools, then click on Windows Update).  You'll get all the updates and many of the drivers your computer needs.  For specific drivers, you can go to the specific site for those, such as video drivers, sound cards, etc.\n\nThe ActiveX message isn't that big a deal.  If you are sure of the website that you are using, go ahead and allow the ActiveX control to be loaded.  The only thing that may happen if you don't load it is that the display may not look the way the author intended.  It will not harm your computer in any way.\n\nAgain, though, please upgrade from ME as soon as you can.  You'll be happy you did.  You can get XP Home for less than $100, or XP Pro for something like $185 or so, depending on where you go.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Cheapest way would be to purchase the XP upgrade.

If you're concerned about getting updates you need to turn on automatic update, its in your security centre - assuming your running xp with service pack2 of course.\n\nTo get to your security centre click start and go to the control panel and double click the security centre icon.

windows me has more bugs and pitfalls in it than all of the other windows operating systems combined. do yourself a big favor and install something else ... anything else. :)

Sorry you don't like it. Here is something I just now found. No guarantees. :) Open your add/remove window in controls and check the box at the top that says "show updates". The go down the list until you get to Windows XP - Software Updates. There should be a line for WMP 11. Actually two lines. At least that is what I have. Try uninstalling now. Like I said no promises. I'm happy with version 11 so I'll stay with it.

first of all why r u uninstalling ur windows xp. if u are finding problem with windows xp then u can use the original windows xp. firstly boot up ur system via windows xp cd. secondly u will find alot of options. Either u can remove the current operating system and reload the fresh one or u also have a option to repair it. its very user friendly to go about. u can format ur hard disk to freshly install the xp using the windows xp cd. so that u dont find any options.

These sites still have the updates and patches for 2000 operating system...\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/default.mspx\nAs far as ME you're outta luck using Microsoft...\n\nEnd of support for Windows 98 and Windows Me\nEffective July 11, 2006, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me (and their related components) will transition to a non-supported status. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide any incident support options or security updates. Microsoft is not offering a custom support agreement for these products.\n\nSo, what you need to do for OS(s) 98 & ME is go to this site...\nhttp://www.techspot.com/tweaks/updates/
