Upgrade to Windows Me, step-by-step.

Pain-Free Upgrade
Before you insert the Windows Me CD-ROM into your PC's drive, it's essential that you make some background preparations. Here's a checklist:
- Although Windows Me includes drivers for a wide range
of hardware, it can't cover everything. Visit the Web sites of the vendors that
made your system's add-in cards, modem, printer, scanner, and so on, and
download the latest drivers with Me support.
- Run ScanDisk (
Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools,
ScanDisk), followed by Disk Defragmenter (
Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk
Defragmenter), on all drives in your PC.
- Scan your PC
for viruses. Then, temporarily disable virus scanning, which can interfere with
the installation of software, including Windows Me.
- Do a complete
backup of the files on your PC.
- Make sure all applications are closed
before you begin upgrading.
