I run PS 5 on Win '98 and XP, flawlessly. most of my machine have 512 or more DDR, and I can't imagine why in the nine hells you would choose ME over XP, at all! I can't imagine choosing ME over '98, even... Anyways, I'm not trying to poke fun at ya, hope I don't sound this way... What problems are you having, exactly? Are they specific to version 7? If so, I'll just shut up... (grins atcha!)
