You are having problems because MCE is a POS OS

I would ditch MCE as soon as I fired the machine up.

I haven't used it but I know people (real geeks) who have used it and every one of them said it is shit and ditched it after less than a month. According to them there were more programs that caused conflicts than actually worked on it and the entire system was buggy as shit until they formatted and went to straight XP or XP Pro.

Well when you get network admin and programmers who have run it and said they would rather run ME thats a pretty bad reccomendation.
