Windows ME

(Host XP-SP3; Guests WFW3.11, Win98SE, WinME)
Some queries and points of interest:
1/. Any floppies/CDs loaded with boot order HDD,floppy,CD will crash the system.
This is the same with Win98SE.

2/. SciTech Display Doctor Beta 7 works well, but the 'Enable' button is not
easy to find. If I could remember where I found it I would put it here!
(I have a valid registration key if anyone is interested.)
To disable the 'nag' screen, which still appears after registration,
delete the following registry key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run "c:\Program Files...
sdboot.exe"

3/. With <Host-Only> networking, I can only get WinME 'Entire Network', in My
Network Places, to work if DHCP is configured to select the IP address
manually, although both Win98SE and WFW3.11 work on automatic. Strange?
4/. Do I need something like DOSIDLE or RAIN with this system?
