Speaking of W2K, I've tried that and it sucks as badly
as other versions of Windows! Actually, it's worse
because when it crashes there is no way to get it
going again or repair it and recover any of your
files! You can't even boot from a DOS floppy and
access anything in the NTFS partition. Also, they
must have 100Mb of updates for security, etc. The
repair utility on the CD doesn't work after it is
updated and then crashes because it doesn't recognize
the installation as a valid copy of Windows!
I had ME running OK but foolishly installed W2K
recently. The other day I started the Windows update
process because of all the security issues. It takes
all day to download all the updates from the MS
website. It's really slow! Then after the updates are
installed it CRASHES!
I got the blue screen of death at startup with a Stop
Error and message about a file called SOFTWARE being
missing or corrupted. Then if I try to log on as
Administrator to use the repair console it says the
password is incorrect! It seems that Microsoft's
updates are worse than most of the worms out there!
Anyone else ever had this happen after updating?
