@@sdcardp212 so far startup repair has worked 3 times for me on win 10, not a lot... and only because it bricked itself from updates and there is something to undo them.
Despite ME's issues, it did have some better tools than 98SE and was more stable if set up properly, making it almost like Win98 Third Edition, or at least Win98 Second Edition Second Edition. 98SE2ME also exists as a more thorough way to create a hybrid version of Win98 made using some of ME's features.
@@_lun4r_ I don't know if that's the right way to put it. Windows ME (along with Vista and Windows 8 later) certainly had issues, but wasn't a complete trainwreck and most people probably didn't have a lot of major issues. But when it did cause problems, it was really good at that too. The updated features from 9x worked well enough, but the stuff taken from 2000 to try to unify 9x and NT before they were actually ready to do so didn't help. There was little to no reason to switch to it from 98SE or choose it over Win2000 instead.

I agree the music is a little loud, but I just turned my volume down by 2 and the problem is resolved.

Windows Vista and later set a lot of registry values as "SYSTEM" or "TrustedInstaller" owned, and place protection on many values.
