SLow Me, Windows Me

[Robert]

I am running Me on my computer. a couple of weeks ago,
everything slowed down. It takes about 10 seconds for
Control Panel or "My Computer" to come up. I have scanned
for viruses with a few programs, and checked for spyware,
yet my Computer is still taking forever. Any Ideas.

When it slows down, punch <Ctrl-Alt-Delete> to see what's running in the
background.

I have done that and the normal things that are always
running are. There are some new programs that I did not
see until recently, and one program that used to be
running is no longer there. The "new" programs are in
Windows/systems. I have rebooted the Me cd, and this did
nothing but remove ie6.

Sounds like alot of work, that (though I personally had some problems
with IE6, most people didn't)

My advice is pretty well the same though... punch up the CloseProgram
window and start removing tasks until (if) the slowdown err speeds up.

How's SafeMode in terms of response speed?
