Win2000 is an evolution of Windows NT. Windows ME is a f***ed up piece of crap based on Windows 98

 

Use XP Pro or 98SE

 

Millenium is pure evil.

if u cant get updated drivers for XP for most of ur major hardware- check on the hardware manufacturer website first then go for win2000

I'm using XP corporate(just like profesional I think only you can use it on unlimited amount of PCs so can make copys)

It drives me MAD

It takes sooo long to shut down

It's not my PC as someone may suggest(2gig pentium 4) I also sometimes have problems online (NTL BroadBand) NTL are blaming my XP

Has anyone else had problems with this?

No problems at all.

I use NTL and all works fine.

The shutdown problem is more likely to be due to a program running in memeory that is not responding to the shutdown command so Windows is waiting an age for it to close.

 

I have a similar rig- ur shutdown problems are perfectly normal. XP was designed to wait 20secs when shutting down to give everything a chance to close. U can speed it up if u wish their is a registry hack around then net sumwhere. Also they done this is mind because theoretically u wud only need to shutdown ur pc when finished using for the day as XP is so stable.

 

hope this helps.

My XP profesional takes ages to shutdown , I'm on Blueyonder broadband .

 

Looks like a format and reinstall for me then .

I only use the brakes so I can accelerate all over again.

Shutdown problems can be caused by non-Micro$haft applications that don't respond properly to the OS. This is probably His Billness's plan for making you buy only his s/w !
