You can get the chipset drivers from Intel's website, and probably the video
drivers too. You may not be able to find drivers for other hardware though.
I know you have your reasons for wanting to run it, but Windows ME is pretty
much the most unreliable OS Micrsoft ever created.

Why would you want to go back to ME? It's like running Windows NT,
compared to XP.

Are you sure the programs cannot be installed on XP? It's pretty good
with compatibility mode if that is even required.

Both the chipset drivers and video drivers are unified, they work on any
chipset if they are needed. Just pick one of the newer chipsets like the 915
and select windows me as your os and it will take you to the right place. As
far as compatiblity problems, the compatibility mode works wonders in XP.

As others have pointed out, ME was the most disastrous OS M$ ever
produced, in fact it was so bad they tried to abandon it early and
allowed people to downgrade to 98SE without giving them license
hastles.

But if that's what you really want to do, go look on the Intel website
for the chipset identifier utility and use the results of that to find
your chipset drivers.

If not XP, why not Windows 2000 Pro? It actually works, and it is not hugely
bloated... Ben Myers

It is because of your Chipset mainly. It is no longer 'supported' by Intel
and Microsoft- regarding ME. I had the same problem. My Graphics controller
would only give me 256 colours. But the system ran damn fast with ME.
Unfortunately 256 colours are no option for me...

FWIW, the Intel web site has Windows 98/ME chipset and graphics drivers for all
the 800-series chipsets. The 900-series chipsets are Windows 2000 and XP only.
And various Linuxes... Ben Myers
