I fresh-installed WinMe about a week or so ago.
Obviously since then I've been installing software packages - on a "as
needed" basis.
A couple of days ago the system started to become sluggish.
The most noticable symptom is when I do something that requires
Windows to sound a NOTIFY.WAV or similar sound - the system freezes
(mouse ans keyboard inoperative) for up to 5 seconds before giving the
"click", "dung", or whatever when everything springs to life again.
Repeating the action, or some other action immediately the sound is
immedaite again - but leave it for a few seconds and it's back to
sluggy agaiin.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions - however wild :-)
