I have had three major bugs pop up so far, and a few minor ones.

The first is the networking bug, it's in another post in this forum, so I'm not going to re-write it here.

Second, sometimes, ME save a file to the wrong location. When I edit images for Max3D, I'll hit the save as, and it will show the folder I last saved into, I hit save, and the file goes ?????? The only workaround is to hit the up-folder button, then track back through the file directories to get into the folder I want.

The worst is a Windows Protection error on shutdown, about 50% of the time. Non-overclocked system and o/c system alike.

Anyone else?

The only problem I have encountered were a video driver when I upgraded, and some self induced ones by playing in the registry.

I am getting protection error about 25% of the time. In addition, if I try and use Netscape, my computer crashes. I am now going to re-format and make a clean installation of Windows 98SE and ME upgrade.
