To Optimize Windows Millieum

[Zeuse]

I believe it is a windows 96,it still uses floppys ,LOL.My son asked me ways to reconfigure it to run better.So as a wise parent with answers I ask other that know more than me.Any suggestions at all will be of help.

I ran Millennium for a long time.

General consensus is that it is a piece of ****.

Best bet is to upgrade to Windows 2000 since you're talking about an older machine. Windows XP if the machine has enough cpu and ram.

AGREED.

I was going to say:
Format C:/s/u/y



I ran Millenuim long enough for it to do a disk chack & corrupt a FULL 40 GB drive I didn't have much of backed up...
to say I was p!$$&d about that was an understatement....

If you go for the reformat route (where you delete everything and install fresh), I would consider installing Ubuntu as your operating system (based on Linux and free), which should better handle limited amounts of hardware processing power and thus give you something of a performance boost.

I currently use Ubuntu and Windows 7, but I remember the days of Windows ME... man what a terrible OS.
