This does seem to to problematic. I don't have a clue. But from reading google searches it might be related to adding new software. If possible remove recent software. If possible perform a system restore to undo changes before this problem existed. Windows ME system restore is not the same as restoring the registry. Like I said, I'm clueless. I don't have any idea what programs you may have installed on your Windows ME computer that might be creating your problem. Do you have access to "Start" in safe mode? If so try "system restore" first.
