Well hell! - I have to reset my PC clock every now and then because it can't keep the time when switched off. Of course there's also that frellin' annoying fact that it never shuts down properly - I have never once received the "It is now safe to shut off your computer" message since my upgrade in January. Works fine at the shop though. Any ideas as to what's gone wrong?

An atomic clock online. It is accurate to a few nanoseconds or some such. Lately the time it has been off has increased.

akb1979, my roommate's Compaq does that also, a Win98 upgrade to ME upgrade to XP. After the upgrade to ME it would never do a restart and takes 10 to 15 minutes to shutdown.

Why would anyone "upgrade" from Win 98 to Win ME anyway, even before XP or 2000 came out. They are near identical, apart from ME being, well, shit. It would be like upgrading from 98 to 98 second edition. Largely pointless.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

If, by "faster", they meant it takes less time to get from startup to crash, then, yes, it does.

I'm going to risk my neck here and say that, when properly configured, WinME is the (marginally) better OS of the two. If you're willing to kill spare time, anyway. Which you wouldn't be, because you'd have to go through far more trouble than it is actually worth.

I have discovered a truly remarkable solution to the Win ME problem, but this forum is too narrow to contain it.
