Windows Networking

On a 4 computer peer-peer all computers can connect to network except one (Windows ME)
When I try to set up networking with the wizard, I get blue screen with following: VSERVER901)+0004D7D error OE:0028:D612B540 cannot find a logical explanation anywhere.  I decided to upgrade to XP however, due to the data on the hard-drive ran compatibility before install, get the same blue screen after about 5 minutes?

Re-install ME first.
Windows ME is WORSE than 98.  It was a disaster from start to finish, even Microsoft suggests using 98 or XP.  If you can, upgrade to XP or even 2000 if cost is a problem.  Its still better than ME.

HOWEVER, I found these two fixes:

Run msconfig and select the General tab. Press Selective startup and clear the Load Static VxDs box. After pressing OK, restart Windows Me and restart the Networking upgrade.  (from http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBK/tip5300/rh5341.htm)

I think this one is better, read it all.  I think it will fix your problem:

Kokoglen,
You miss the point. A reinstall of ME should allow a clean install of XP over ME.
