Look, Roy, from what my friends have told me, and my personal experience, WinME is unable to perform any really effective work. I got my money returned from Best Buy, even their staff techs could not get WinME to run reliably. You need to buy a legal copy of Win2000 PRO from Ebay, then get the MS Upgrades (they'll mail you a CD). All of that craziness will stop. XP is ALMOST (but not quite) ready for primetime; Win2K with all its shots is. Here's how MS works. They release a razzle-dazzle product. The customers complain, and in about 4 years they finally have it working as right as they can get it (NO MS product works correctly). Unfortunately, they never even worked on WinME. Its still as broken as the day it was released. --Bob Roy J.

On my Win2K computer here at work, using the same Ver 6.62, the messages don't appear. I can't find anything about this behavior in the MicroChip knowledge base, but that application at their website doesn't operate very smoothly. > >Any ideas anyone has on this will be appreciated > >Roy J.
