ok this is on a windows ME machine SS taken today. How low can you go??

15% system resources. This PC should crash A--B--O--U--T Now.
This is the major diference between the NT kernel and the 9x kernel.
On windows 98/ME you have very limited resources.

You'd think.. but i went ahead and executed the web cam chat, ran slow, but im still on the darn thing with no reboot or crash! Im having a good nite! lol!

How much uptime do you get on windows ME?
The most I got on ME or 98 without crashing was 22 hours. Contrary to what people say, ME was more stable than 98 expecially when system resources go low.

lol i remeber that screen me ME still used to run when resoucres were @ 3% ! LOL! slow as f*ck!

Let us know where it was when it crashed.

whowd u make it stable

Go to system Accessories>System Information> Tools, Go through and become familiar with all the information, co to system configuration and the startup tab, all you need running there is Scan Reg, Task Mon. & System Tray. Uncheck schedular and all other OS tasks but leave what you want as far as other running programs. I generally boot with only 3 items in my startup. If you have 2 drives, move your swap file to the secondary under vurtual memory. move the file system properties up to network server, and move the read ahead all the way up to full. Under troubleshooting disable system restore, as it doesn't work well in ME anyways. Under System Configuration>General>Advanced disable scandisk at startup. On defrag, enable make my programs load faster, disable scheduler, as this slows the system down.

~edit~ you may want to look at your system resources before and after, i guarantee an increase. plus take notice of your boot time - you'll find this about a 80% increase over your old settings

Well after almost 3 years, im sad to say...

Im ME no more...

I did a reformat and installed Windows XP SP2 on my P2 300Mhz and its running GREAT!!. I really expected lagging and sluggishness, but it really runs just as fast as ME did!

Well, RIP ME
