Oh, then I guess I will have to get a copy of Windows 98 then, I will try this one first and see if it is successful.
The computer I am going to use for this isn't being used for anything else, I was going to run a PC-DC server on it and host some other servers as well.

You can use ME too. Same thing but has upgraded driver support and built in flash drive support.

Oh, I thought ME was just the home edition of Windows 98 Second Edition.
Thank you.

Re: Dc-PC Windows XP Guide
Yeah it was basically a joke of an operating system. Within a year XP came out but is the best option for PC-DC server because of driver support.

Re: Dc-PC Windows XP Guide
Alright, so ME it is!
Hopefully by tomorrow I can go to DollarGeneral and pick up a pack of cds, although I don't think there of high quality because of the price and brand "TDK"
I hope it works on XP though, the pc I am using for the server is a Dell Dimension 4550 and reinstalling windows is a pain because of the lack of drivers, it would be all right if it had an Ethernet driver but it doesn't even have that so I have to download it from another computer and put it on a flash drive.
Thank you.

I use crap Maxwell. Its just not good on your laser long term. Don't worry about it too much.
I have a 4550. Its great. It comes with xp reinstall disc though so you could dualboot if you wanted to.

Re: Dc-PC Windows XP Guide
Microsoft ME (Millennium Edition) was to be the next step for Win98 users. Win 2k was to be the more "power user" version, but ME was a nothing more than "beta-ware". If ME lived, XP Home Edition would have had a different name and XP Pro would have just been "XP".
Good luck with the DC-PC server project.

Re: Dc-PC Windows XP Guide
Alright, my attempt at windows xp failed, but from other online sources I can clear things up about this guide:
When it talks about <h10>s it is a binary value not a string
Any time you edit you edit your registry, you must restart for these changes to take effect
