Reinstalling ME

allan451 · 11-07-2001, 01:12 PM

I am trying to reinstall ME on a clean drive and I get a message when it starts to copy the files to the disk.

The message is:

KERNEL: Unable to initialize heap

Any ideas on how to get through this?

Try this link http://computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/4331.html

Hope it helps. Why were you doing a clean install???

Maybe its related.

Replaced the stick and everything loaded.

Your welcome.

I just have to say that google is amazing.

I just did a search on "KERNEL: Unable to initialize heap" and it gave me that link.

Just to tell you...personally I really don't like ME. Try using XP I think this Os is the best that MS has made.

If I didn't have so much crap I'm too lazy to copy -I'd dump this ME and re-install 98...My advice to anyone who uses ME..NO! NO NO...on the other hand, I enjoy reformatting and fdisking like it's no one's business..so maybe I will dump ME and get XP..
