Does anyone know if it's possible to get around the CPU speed detection during the winME setup??
I have a P133 laptop with 32 meg ram.

Thanks in advance

You might try a WindowsMe forum.

You can overclock yor CPU just to get though the 1st setup stage. I don't think it checks it ever again. Plus 133 usualy works well as 150 or even 166 ;-)

Thanks for the intelligent reply, Igor, but being a laptop, I haven't been able to find a way to do such a thing. I've tried soft FSB, but I dunno anything about the motherboard, besides, ya kinda need an OS isntalled to use it

Any other ideas are certainly welcomed

Theres a patch somewhere, to get past the 150mhz CPU limit.........might try www.flukex.com in the files, or links section

Try the flag /nm

like: setup.exe /nm

it should work...

WinME sucks by the way

#NTCompatible on UNDERNET!!!

[jdulmage]

you could say "Windows Me" sucks....but I can tell you that it's better than Windows 2000 as of this date for these reasons

1) Compatibility is good in ME, windows 2000 as just touched the surface on that issue

2) SubWoofer and bass settings, i have a SB 128 and no drivers for 2000 allow me to turn up the bass, therefore, my subwoofer sounds like "just another speaker"...next to no bass comes out of it.

3) no windows based ip configuration, therefore winipcfg with it's windows 32-bit base doesn't exist in 2000. you have to type ipconfig and it brings up a lovely, gay DOS box and let's hope that the box doesn't "close on exit"

4) Too many DLL files, it's a mess.


So over all, if you want an OS...use the one that your currently using, if your using a 9x kernel, and want to goto Me, just do it and wait for whistler, because whistler is removing a lot of it's dll crap, and making it for both home and work, and it'll be the gaming stable OS that people are looking for.

P.S: 0 problems with Windows Me as of this date, running it since April 2000 in it's beta stages.
