200 Mhz or bust

[layiya]

Locked System? An old P1 200 Mhz, 4 Gb H/d, 196 ram, ATI Rage 128 ultra, modem etc. locks on start-up; the desktop loads , Windows ME, but the nothing will respond to the mouse clicks, although the cursor still can be moved. Ctrl-Alt-Del. brings up a window with ?Clientsideproxy not responding? but system will not respond after that point, although the cursor still can be moved, so I try the restart button and after ?Scan disc? I arrive back at the same situation. The machine was working until recently I put in the M/b installation cd and also had a look at the Ati graphic card cd. The M/b is a Gigabyte Aladdin. I have tried to open ?System restore? but the system locks before I can, as described. Also the clock in the task bar does not move. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Does anybody have a solution?

Windows ME + 200mhz machine = not gonna work. There are very few machines out there that sucessfully run Windows ME. Microsoft pretty much stopped supporting it.
