can not install antispyware dont have windows xp can

thanks very much
 
Buy a new computer, you need it, since ME is very old.

Other options download adaware, but it will not actively protect you.
 
Age has little to do with whether MSAS is supported on a
platform...it runs on XP. ME is based on DOS/W98.

Your ME computer will probably run XP, use the upgrade
compatibility test which can be downloaded from MS, is on
the XP CDs, or run the on-line test at www.pcpitstop.com

| ME: 2000
| Windows 2000: 2000
| XP: 2001
|
| They're *all* old.

I wholeheartedly agree Jim. Besides, XP SP2 is not very
old - 2004!! That was almost a complete operating system
within itself!! My kingdom for the days of DOS and BASIC,
when life was so uncomplicated.

Walterius responded:

"...And computers could do so little."

However, I do treasure the fact that my dual boot W2K/WME system has DOS. I
actually DO stuff in DOS. And it *is* simple.

I actually worked on a TRASH-80 for a while, and the first computer I
programmed professionally had 30,000 vacuum tubes (two duplexed computers
required plus 10% spares = 2 * 30,000 + 6,000 = 66,000 tubes) and spoke only
assembler. Wow. Whoopee.

:)
 
Old familiar faces that you understand are always hard to
abandon. But XP will run, trouble-free, the BSOD becomes a
thing of the past and a new Dell can cost less than the cost
of a SDRAM 64 MB stick just a few years ago.

I want a new Dell, but I don't have the $300, and I don't want to invest in
a lame duck OS. Sob. Yet, my Athlon is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Weep. I am confused. And broke.

Win2K has *never* given me a BSOD, by the way. (It has hung a few times, I
admit.)
 
W2K is based on NT, just as is XP. XP just has a newer GUI.

I'm broke too, understand your pain. Nothing wrong with
W2K, if it works for you;stick with it. So do as I do, I
get my exercise by walking and bending over for coins found
on the ground.

It will cost you about $100 to buy an XP upgrade (home) and
that money would be better spent on a $300 Dell [with XP
installed] a 2.4 GHz CPU.

And Walterius scribed:

Darned right. That's my plan. But no Celerons!

Now if I can just talk my roommate into buying one first so I can see how I
like $300 Dell computers.... Gee, I can remember when a Dell cost $4,000....
 
The wonders of mass production and amortization.

BTW, nothing wrong with a Celeron if all you do is surf the
web and email. Someday I'll replace my 1.7 GHz Celeron 478
with a 2.8-3.2 GHz P4, if I don't replace the whole system
first.
I don't play games and I'm using dial-up, so the 1.7 Celeron
keeps me happy and it was the least expensive thing when I
built this computer[$82 vs. $300 for the CPU]. I planned
for growth, but haven't needed the upgrade yet.

My eldest son wanted a computer for email, surfing and eBay,
on my suggestion he bought a Dell 2400 with a 2.4 Celeron
and a 120 GB drive, a CD-RW and a DVD. It came with 256 MB
RAM, but he bought a 512 stick and is running 768 MB. He
has been very happy with the performance. It is very quite
in operation too.

Change that to two 60-gig HDDs, a DVD-R and 1 Gig RAM, and I'll send my $300
immediately. Chirp. :)
