well,i don't know many things about this....i have heard that xp are not so good for copying and i think it has something to do with the aspi...well,as for win98 and me i don't know...i am using win98 and i don't want to change them,i think it's the best version of windws ever released,if i ever change them it would be only for unix......i think that win98 is the best os for burning thisngs...now,it's your choise.....

any of those is a good choice, so long as you understand the burning defaults with XP, and get rid of them

. personally, ME = biggest pile of shit that i ever had installed (2 days). xp pro is fine, however

xp sometimes makes trouble with burned cds because they can not be read by win9x.

you need a patch from windowsupdate (for xp

)

How do you disable the defaults in the copying software of WinXP?

i right clicked the drive in my computer, properties > and disabled recording to this drive using XP. is that what you meant?

After I change the burning properties, then go ahead and re-install Nero and CloneCD. Then business as usual? Thanks for the help. Just when I got Win 3.11 figured out, Win 95 came out... Now I am pretty good with those platforms and XP come out. Just the way life goes... Anyone any good with networking with XP to ME? email me please. [email protected].

I know NOTHING about Xp, but Win2000Prof networked automatically with Me without a hitch. After a minimal of messing with settings I even got internet sharing between my desktop(2000) and my laptop (Me). I do plan on installing XP to play aropund with on my laptop later today. WISH ME LUCK!!!

I can see the other machines, I just can not get in to them from one machine to the other machine. And now from one ME to the other ME station, I can not see them. HHmmm.... It was working fine before I installed XP home.

you must have a separate user account logged into both computers in order to have a network

, just a newbie hint.

Are you sure? Because I currently have the same user logged onto 2 different computers who are also sharing the same internet account right this minute. Of course they can see each other on the network too.

separate as in something signed in

bad choice of words. i meant that you had to have someone signed in on each, rather than signing in on one, and trying to view the others
