A few minor points. Windows has evolved along two parallel tracks: Win9x (comprising Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Millenium) and NT (comprising Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP). The Win9x versions are generally considered less robust/stable; however, they introduced more consumer-oriented features (ie. USB) sooner. From my experience, if you're going to use Win9x, I generally don't recommend WinMe under any circumstances. It's generally better to use Windows 98 SE. From what you describe, you don't have the computing power or resources to run XP or 2000. As others have correctly suggested on this thread, I'd stick with Win98 SE. Backup your data, reformat your hard drive, and start from scratch, if possible.
