Get a copy of Win2000 Pro.


Or even better get a copy of OS X :-)



or Lin.. oh hang on, this is a weather group.

Yes but we all want Keith's site to work smoothly.
I would reccomend Win2000 Pro to any windows junkies, 95 98 or ME
upgraders,
or XP downgraders. Linux and BSD (OS X) are OK too.

I don't know why everyone is gong on about the OS when Keith's problems seem
to have been caused by an incorrect BIOS setting.

In my experience Windows XP has ben completely reliable both on my home
computers and the one my wife uses for work I have known an upgrade to
Windows XP from Windows 2000 reveal a buffer ovrflow bug in an application
but the OS can't be blamed for that.
