Why would you recommend a 5 year old, virtually unsupported OS (2000) when
XP is vastly superior, particularly with device driver support.

And that's really saying something!

Right now I'm on the verge of just saving important folders and wiping
the hard drive clean. But since it is a Compaq, it's going to be hell
installing an OS on it.

It'll be well worth your while though. If it's fast enough with more
than 256MB of memory, get Win2000 or XP on it.

2000 is definately best.

If not, consider
getting your hands on a copy of Win98 SE. Windows ME is a horribly
unstable piece of poo, unfortunately.


True, fully as crappy as 98SE.

ME is no worse than 98SE (and no better either). People saying bad
things about ME usually have VERY limited experience (many did a
"upgrade" over an old OS, something best avoided). The others are
mindlessly repeating those people.
