That would only happen if you used it wrong. Do not abuse your operating system.

lol my mom ran Windows ME for a few years. incredibly unstable. i always just chalked it up to ME being a buggy piece of poo poo.

later found out that at least part of it was probably due to a bad stick of RAM in the computer. lol. it's a miracle she ever got anything done on that thing.
