1. Microsoft never did fix that error message since Windows ME doesn't support real mode drivers. Why they left that message from Windows 98 is a real gem of a question for a Redmondite. Sorry but we can ignore the message but...

2. It usually means the motherboard drivers or BIOS is out of date. What stresses today's owners is they thought Microsoft Windows would fetch and install such for them. Nothing is farther from the truth.

3. I'd help you find such drivers, but you didn't follow the forum tip and tell all.

Tell more, get more.
