I am trying to upgrade windows ME to Windows 2000 pro. The message "Windows needs one more memory for the upgrade". I have check that all the apps are closed apart from the upgrade. What's causing this? Viruses or something else???

Please suggest

Not meeting minimum system requirements for 2K or possibly a virus in the upgrade program (unless Micro Soft provided)

ONE MORE MEMORY ? - Sounds like a virus, but only targets 2K and up.

BTW - Good Idea Upgrade to the latest virus targeted software. 2K was the lowest to be able to be infected.

ME -> 2k is pretty iffy, although i HIGHLY reccomend win2k.

personally, i'd wipe the drive, and install windows 2k fresh.

Aaahh.... one thing to remember, ME cannot be upgraded to 2K. Second answer is correct. But also be aware that if you bought your computer with ME pre installed, then you need drivers for all your built in components, like sound or modem. You need to go to website of your motherboard manufacturer.

You can't go straight from ME to 2K, you need to go to 98 first. I do know of someone that went from ME to 2K but they had to install some drivers in order to do that.
