many errors in various things

Your system restoration won't function correctly without
the latest updates for Windows ME. Go to
microsoft/upgrade.com to receive the latest system restore
& security upgrades.

DO NOT follow the advice below - the poster has no idea of what he speaks!
There is only one update for System Restore in ME - and that was first
posted in April 2001. Installing it will delete all existing Restore points
Security Updates (not upgrades) have no relevance in this context.
