Help with Windows ME

Hi, I need help installing a SP4 on my computer. I need that software to be
able to install an iPod program. The problem is that I don't know if it will
work and when I try to open it it says its linked to a missing export. If
anyone knows anything that could help I would appreciate it very much.

I don't know what SP4 you're trying to install, but Windows ME never had any
service packs, let alone SP4.

Windows system requirements
a.. PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
b.. Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service
Pack 2 or later
In other words, it won't work with WinMe.

Consider upgrading to Windows XP if you wish
to install your iPod program. That is your only
option!

I tried to upgrade it but it says my computer first has to be ready to
upgrade it. It scans the computer but it doesnt say I need to upgrade. What
do I do now to be able to upgrade it? Thank you

You need to purchase an "Upgrade Version" of
Windows XP so that you can upgrade your current
Windows ME operating system to the newer
Windows XP operating system. Afterward, you
can install your iPod software.

If connecting to iPod with USB is your problem, you might look at:

Why is one tempted to add OS X to the list, Carey.
