Windows Millenium edition

Because Windows Me has more multi-media support than Windows 98, including the new Movie Maker and Windows Media Player, the book places heavy emphasis on understanding and using these features. Author Curt Simmons made it his goal to help readers "make their computer a digital playground as well as an effective workstation."

Thoroughly researched to cover every conceivable angle, the book helps readers to:

• Customize system settings to best suit individual needs
  
• Set up and troubleshoot hardware
  
• Protect critical files with improved security features
  
• Download, install, and update software over the Internet
  
• Maintain system in top running condition for peak performance
  
• Use System Restore to bring the system back to a healthy state
  
• Enjoy advanced gaming over the Internet or a local network
  
• Surf more effectively with Internet Explorer 5.5
  
• Access support faster with improved troubleshooting menus
  
• Import and manage digital media, including MP3 and video editors, with improved technologies
  
• Use Windows Me Accessories, Printers, Scanners, and Digital Cameras
  

Special chapters include "Having Fun with Windows Me," "Using Windows Media Player," and "Using Windows Movie Maker." Like other books in the How to Do Everything series, this books features special elements such as 'How To' textboxes that contain techniques to help the reader carry out useful supplemental tasks; 'Notes' that provide extra information; 'Cautions' to warn of possible unwanted consequences of actions; 'Tips' to make activities easier; and 'Did You Know?' for additional information.
