I run Windows ME with TMG and haven't noticed any problems. Just the same
problem I had with Windows98, I have to open TMG before ANY other program or
it locks up the computer. :( It makes for a real hassle when I have my
browser open online and want to use info from the site! (Listen to that
complaint..... HA..... Not to long ago I would have had to actually get out
of my jammies and get dressed and drive somewhere and spend hours
looking......... and ...... Oh! well! Never happy! heheh)
