It is a bad idea to put your email for display on a website. If you can't take the time to post then don't.

You should have a boot.ini file in C: left over from the XP install. Edit it and delete the Windows XP setup line.

Or if you get scared removing stuff from boot.ini you can change the timeout from 30 to 0 (only do this if ME is the default).

why on earth would you want ME? It's absolute crap and the worst OS M$ ever published!

What's so bad about it?

Besides constant BSOD's, OS instability, file corruption, lack of security, etc...?

There were some hardwares that it ran fine on. I ran it for a couple years on a Pentium 2 300 machine with 160 megs of ram just fine. Had no more BSODs and lockups than you'd expect on a decent 98se install.

Well SNG you stand to prove many points inadvertantly here, you had it on a pentium 2, enough said, lets get some xp or better in here for this guys. lol

I think that Compaq 500 is a Pentium III 500 with 96 megs of RAM and an 8GB hard drive. XP might not have been the brightest move. Perhaps 2000 IF ME was giving him fits. But ME might have ran just fine on it.
