Here is the microsoft support site on this issue: Q266456 - Personal Web Server Is Not Included with Windows MillenniumEdition http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q266/4/56.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=personal%20web%20server&

I upgraded to WinMe from WinSE a couple of months ago. I use FP2000 & PWS. I have had no trouble using PWS. PWS & FP2000 were on the hard drive when we upgraded to WinME.

I'm not real techinical so I can't tell you why this works.

HTH,
Meo

You can set the pws up in a test situation on windows me. It is strongly recommended however, if you are going to use the pws as a server for hosting to the world wide web that you then choose the windows 2000 operating system. Judy (in reply to jhengel)


Gil Posts: 7533 From: North Carolina, USA Status: offline	RE: windows me no pws - 2/14/2001 20:31:00 PWS is a testing tool - You can't really use it to host a site anyway. And PWs doesn't run on Win2000 - Win2000 comes with IIS5 ------------------ Gil Harvey The Host Factory (in reply to jhengel)


jhengel Posts: 61 From: Laramie WY USA Status: offline	RE: windows me no pws - 2/14/2001 20:44:00 Gil, I think I'm confused on this issue. Since I'm running a web site that I need to test regularly on the pws, Would you recommend the windows me or windows 98 second edition operating system? I can't get a straight answer from Gateway help support and after reading the article from Microsoft support I read it as windows me would have configuration problems with the pws. What are your suggestions? Judy (in reply to jhengel)

Judy - Kind put me on the spot, huh?

OK, in order:

Win2000 Professional w/IIS5
WinME w/PWS
Win98SE w/PWS

#1 would cost more, but is much more functional.
#2 I know what MS says, but I know a lot of people running that combination without problems
#3 Hey - it works

Good Luck...
