Hi,,
I was wondering does Windows ME have DOS or run through DOS?

Thanks,
Lori

Hi Lori,

Windows ME was the last DOS-based version of Windows. After 3.1, it went 95, then 98, then to ME.

ME did introduce some new features that were enhanced and expanded upon in XP, for example System Restore.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP are the NT (New Technology) based versions of Windows.

The following links (fairly randoom) may also be of some help:

Hope this helps!

Hi, and Thanks for your help. For anyone else I'm sure it would have worked fine but as for me I could not figure it out. So now that I have that behind me I was thinking of re-formatting the the windows me out of it and reinstalling windows 98. Any suggestions on how to make that command in Windows me? I have tried to install it over "Me" and it won't do that either. So would I try it from the ms dos prompt in ME? And is there anything else I might want to know before trying this?

Don't worry it is an older computer I am trying this on. So if worse comes to worse I toss it.
Thanks for your help.

Lori
