I don't think anything runs on Windows Me.
Can a program for Windows 2000 run on Windows ME as well?windows xp themes
Windows 2000 is a server OS based on Windows NT technology. Windows ME is a home OS based on DOS. They are in no way the same, but the only way to find out is to install it and run it. It may just work -- it may not.
Can a program for Windows 2000 run on Windows ME as well?download windows media player internet explorer
I don't know for sure, but I have Office 2000 installed with Windows XP.
It depends on the program.
If you have a disk, check the back of the disk for minimum requirements, most times it will list both;
OS: Windows 2000/ME/XP or whatever system.
I don't know which came out first, but its a safe bet that you can use it on both OS's. Any program listing OS's lower than your current OS means that you can use it on your newer OS.
If the App is downloaded from the internet, check the download page, most time they have system requirements as well.
Honestly it depends on what foundation the program you are trying to install and run was built under. Windows 2000 runs primarily under the NT Kernel but has the ability to emulate the DOS Kernel for legacy applications. Windows ME was based solely off the DOS Kernel and has no support for applications that rely on the NT Kernel.
So in other words 鈥?if the program was designed to be used on JUST Windows 2000, then no it is not going to work. But if the program was designed to be cross platform compatible and uses the DOS Kernel, then yes there鈥檚 a very good possibility that it will work.
Good luck,
Rick
