SUMMARY

Windows Millennium Edition (Me) supports installation on Legacy Free (LF) computers. LF computers require different drivers and different boot files to boot properly. Because of this, Windows Me must detect whether a computer is an LF computer by querying the computer's BIOS.

Windows Me Setup includes a command-line switch (setup /nl) that you can use if Setup does not detect LF status correctly.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
