Therefore, it should be no surprise to you, given
the endorsements by both Scott and Cameron, that we use Windows 2000 as well.

Windows98 is simply enhancements to Windows95,
which is an 8 year old operating system. Since
then, there
have been a few operating systems out
of Redmond that actually
approach stability. I
know it sounds like a lot, but if
you can get your
hands on Windows2000 professional, you will be
signficantly happier. It is WAY more stable, and
has all of
the feature/functionality of Windows98,
and more.
I recently
reverted back to Windows98 after several
years away, simply to create
a gaming machine. I
was so disgusted by the instability of the
OS (on a
brand name PC where I KNOW everything works), that
I
abandoned the whole effort.
Don't go near WindowsME, and stay
away from
WindowsXP. Windows2000, however, (and I hate to
say this), I really like. It's fast, powerful, and
most of
all, STABLE. I can't recall ever receiving
the BSOD with
Win2k. (blue screen of death, that
is).
Don, do you
have high speed Internet?

me. It
keeps refusing to shut down and presents me with a
blue screen with an error message to the effect
that a fatal error
has occurred etc. etc.

totally
lost on the correct procedure to get the
hard drive to format
since it contains the windows
program which controls the format

think) I'll save most of the stuff that
I want
to keep by burning it onto a cd. Then I'll re
install
that later.
