Lyn:  Demand a free upgrade to Windows 2000 or Windows XP from Microsoft. 

When I upgraded to Windows ME, the box read "Compatible with programs for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 SE", yet I totalled �600 of software that was not compatible, some of which was even listed on Microsoft's website as "by design" (Including their own Microsoft Fax!). 

It took me two months, but they eventually sent a cheque for the full amount I claimed, and what's more, they didn't even ask for receipts!  (I did include photocopies of all relevant packaging as proof of purchase). 

Ironically, if they had just have provided me with a copy of Windows 2000, it would have saved them over �400, as I believe most of the software was/is compatible with Windows 2000, just not Windows ME. 

It may be a little late now, but Microsoft were in breach of contract as the claims on the packaging are false.
