My Win Me works ok,and load in about 2 minuts,
but when i restart the Pc after install a new software , WinME takes about 40 minuts to load , its something related to Wininit proccess, i ve to wait after a frase somte think like this "pleas Wait while Updates is setting..." blah blah my harddisk activity led is flashing ,( and i know that it hasnt bad clusters), but it takes around 40 minuts to finish this "settings" mades by the wininit process. after that the WinME starts ok.
