Gawd I wish I had a dime for everytime I heard some smeghead call WinME slow. I'd be Bill Gates rich. WinME is NO DIFFERENT than any other windows program, that being said, you need to know when you install it, what features you need and what you dont need. Then its simply a matter of installing them and running it. I have had my Windows ME workstation here at home run for two years...yes I said TWO YEARS, without a crash! That being said, the first thing I would look for is the "three finger salute," (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and see whats running at the time you do it. If your not sure what each program is, copy the ones your unsure of onto a piece of paper and look them up on either Google.com or Annoyances.org. They usually have something on programs people are unsure whether they need running or not. Also I might look for the usual suspects, i.e. Gator downloader, Real Player, Comet Cursor, NetDevil, etc etc. if you happen to find an offending program that hogs your cpu or memory time, kill it and go download Ad-Aware6 and if your comfortable with setting up registry key deleting programs, try out SpyBot Search & Destroy. I run both on my box and havent had problems with either. Just remember to keep them updated with the newest definitions and you should be able to eliminate any problem programs in no time.
