I've put ME on the last two new builds...had problems with one of the modems (cleared up when I put on a USR) and the next one had a problem with the Epson printer....seemed to worked better after a couple of reboots...I'm not impressed with ME overall although I like Media Player 7 (downloaded it on mine and decided not to upgrade to ME on my machine). And can someone tell me where Windows Explorer is on ME or is it gone?
