The best advice I can give any owner of an ME system is to upgrade to XP. I'm not a fan of XP (I run 2003 Server) but it's a lot better than ME. The home edition is pretty cheap now. Buy one of those USB storage device http://www.xpcgear.com/usbmemory.html
and back up all your mail, favorites, documents etc and then upgrade to XP.

I like XP just fine on a modern system with ALOT of memory, but if you can find it 98se is better than Me and much less of a system resource hog than XP.It doesn't have all the built in security stuff of XP but with all the good freeware security available today that's a non issue.
