I got my computer in 2001, so it's got a nice chunk of years on it... it's OLD. 1.4GHz, 512 SD ram, and running windows ME. now it crashes a lot, has countless errors, even after reformatting and Windows Reg Checker always nags at me till I delete it's registry key in the startup folder. I've never messed with the registry other than deleting that scanreg key, and I've always been good about anti-virus/spyware.
now I'm wondering if it's all because of Windows ME? I know it's a crap OS and I wish I knew that at the time of purchase, but I'd like to know if upgrading to XP Home would solve all my problems. I do play some games, but I mainly use it for internet and music. I know some would say throw that piece of junk out and buy a new one! but that's not one of my options at the moment.
