re: ME upgrade to XP

So far, I have seen 2 laptops and 2 desktop pc's that were originally built for ME,
and once they were upgraded to 2000 or XP; they ALL had weird problems and failures.
I have looked and looked over the web to try to find an answer, and so far, I have
nothing. I'm sure that if these machines were built specifically for ME, then all
of the hardware drivers are for ME. I am just surprised that especially XP didn't
just take care of it all, even though I do prefer XP so far over all of the other
Windows operating systems. I work on computers and have had positive results with
XP overall. XP is basically (in a sense) all of the Windows operating systems in
one, however, ME seams to be kind of out there by itself. I have to admit, I don't
have much experience with ME other than it giving me problems!
IF all it is is a driver issue in upgrading, then how can someone know where to get
the drivers? Windows Updates don't even help. I have been successful in fixing computers-
but it seams that every time someone tells me they upgraded their machine which was
originally ME when they bought it- they are now having problems ever since. Those
machines are the ones I can't seem to fix- even when I do a clean install (format)
and start all over again. They usually end up "blue screening" with different messages
or not wanting to run certain programs correctly when I think I have finally fixed
it. That brings me to think that there is still a hardware driver issue existing,
but I can't figure it out.
These computers had enough memory and processors that would work fine with 2000 or
XP. Comparing them to other machines with the same aspects; the other machines worked
wonderfully with XP (or 2000). BUT these machines WERE NOT originally built for ME-
they were built for 98. ????
Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this before?
