There is a repeated entry in WinMe's MSConfig, StartUp tab. Clicking on the CleanUp button does NOT remove it. Is there a way of editing this out ? Basty

Download & install CCleaner, click Tools, Startup...you should be able to figure out the rest. BTW, what is the entry? "If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions" - Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) in Pulp Fiction

Active Desktop Calender. One is ticked and the other is not. Basty

If you don't use it, remove it from Add/Remove programs "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

I use Active Desktop Calendar, but it has occurred to me that the surplus entry may be due to an earlier version that was upgraded. I could delete both and re-install the later one, I suppose. Basty

You need to read and apply Trevs How to Make WindowsMe Run Well version 5. I had a P3 750MHz for several years with WindowsMe installed and it always ran well after appying trevs tweaks . The part about using the System Configuration Utility ( Start/Run/MSCONFIG) and removing items that load at startup that are not nessasary really help your PC run better . Here is a link to Trevs Tweaks >http://www.burzurq.com/forum/trevtweak.html Good Luck ,Nick

I have done the uninstall, clearing Registry and re-installing, and that did get rid of the extra unticked & unwanted item. I am a committed/loyal user of WinMe, but it DOES 'hang-up' more than I would like it to. I'll see if Trev's Tweaks suggests something I don't already know about. By the way, I have and use WinXP when the task at hand is beyond WinMe's capability. Basty
