I was having constant lock-up problems...then it came in the mail - my ME upgrade kit. I said, "what the heck" couldn't be any worse than 98SE and the lock-ups.

I had tried all suggestions from this forum - to no avail, SO IT WAS UPGRADE TIME.

I have been running ME for a few weeks now. Had a few burps - but all-in-all - much better now. I keep knocking on wood. SO FAR, SO GOOD.
