Fixes[edit | edit source]

The bug where the incorrect S3 driver may install in a clean install has been fixed.

Quirks[edit | edit source]

In Control Panel, there is an empty folder. Clicking on it will cause an error that the user does not have the rights to access the folder.

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 this Neptune build was ever compiled.

Some speculate this would have been a Milestone 2 build. It would've been compiled someday after 11 December 1999, meaning it would be one of the last Neptune builds before the Neptune project was canceled in January 2000.
