If you have Win 98SE then you can install the full version of ME on your computer from the upgrade disk but you must have a copy of the Windows 98SE CD to verify that you are allowed to install ME from the upgrade disk.It will ask you to insert this disk during the installation process of ME.
I understand that the upgrade edition of ME does in fact have the full version of ME on it but will not install it on your computer if you do not have the Windows 98 SE CD to verify it. I loaded my upgrade edition of ME this way and it has worked just fine. Not sure if I really like it or not yet though.

Patricia, I had that trouble at first when I installed ME because I had Nortons Anti Virus and it wouldn't close down properly until I took Nortons off. In fact I hav had this trouble before with Nortons Anti Viruis even with Win98, wouldn't close down, kept freezing etc. Its worth a try if you have Nortons to just take it off and see what happens.
I run PCcillin and have had no problems with that.
