Changes[edit | edit source]

- Windows Movie Maker has a new icon that is seen in the RTM.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
S3 drivers[edit | edit source]
Sometimes when using S3 video adapters, Windows will complain that its own drivers will not work properly, thus the display will be stuck at 640×480 resolution and 16 colors mode. This error will also appear upon every boot and other drivers cannot be installed correctly, meaning that S3 video adapters are not recommended for this build.
Neptune reference[edit | edit source]
A total of 9 files with the version numbers 5.50.5116.1 and 5.50.5117.1 were found in this Windows Me build, but it is unknown whether these Neptune builds were ever compiled.
Some speculate they would've been Milestone 2 builds. They would've been compiled someday after 11 December 1999, meaning they would be some of the last Neptune builds before the Neptune project was canceled in January 2000.
