    If you have internet, download Unknown Device Identifier for free at http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html . Search on google for the listed drivers and download from the necessary sites. This is a very long method, but I had the same problem in 98 and did this, it worked.

    but i also have 98se and it detects all drivers fine

    Windows ME is not supported be lots of hardware and programs-I suspect yours must be unsupported. 98SE is more supported then ME.

    the program didnt help me because the graphics drivers are cirrus logic 542x and cirrus logic web site says that they don't make graphics cards but mine is a cirrus logic

    that was a long time ago, CL dropped video cards when teh 3D era came about

    would i be able to use the 98se drivers because they work with my computer

    Wait, if they work, aren't you using them now?

    well i meant when i had 98se on the computer they worked i just wanted to try me but i wouldnt detect the graphics card so i was wondering if the 98se ones would work on me

    I've often done things like that (The other favorite is 2000 drivers on XP). If it doesn't work, there's usually safemode.

    i would probably be better with 98se anyway because from what ive seen me is SLOW

    ME has higher overhead, 98 runs all the same software ME does so no huge benefit of one over the other imo

    ME has system restore. I find it useful in Vista sometimes.
  • UglynGreyUglynGrey
    Unfortunately the system restore in me isn't nearly as well polished as it is in Vista but it is indeed a feature that 98 lacks...good point
  • QQ
    That was the most significant difference I saw regularly. That and the unbelievably annoying installation video they showed.

    Back in the day hardly anyone used it or even knew anything much about it. I hardly used it in XP. It was just a first step into that "time machine" section ms had just ventured into.
