Most windows users I've talked to who got Windows ME had to shit-can it. I've seldom found any one who can get current graphics programs to work right on it. I use Win NT4 w/ sevPak6 and Win98se. As for lightwave 6.0. I just got the new FREE 6.5"b" upgrade(Yes," b",), this week. It resolved all the issues that kept it from working right all year. :) :) :) Oh no! This means I gotta learn how to use it on my new rebuilt machine hehehehehehe....
