Default It's Freezing

In your original post, you intimated that you had only (very) recently
upgraded to WinMe from Win95/98 and so hence my suggestion.

However, as you now imply that WinMe has been installed (and running) for
some time, and the problem has only occurred (very) recently, then you
should try running System Restore and roll-back to the last time/date BEFORE
you did the update.

Well, I said no to that since it takes up a good chunk of space (The
computer
is roughly 10 years old) and since there were no files on it any way (I
clreaded the partitions when I put on 98, which is when I switched to ME)
so
that won't work. Thanks for the luck by the way. I need it

If urgent and/or all else fails ... **AND** ... ASS-U-ME-ing that you
allowed to the 'old system' (95/98?) to be retained and saved (to permit
it
to be restored in the event of a catastrophe!!) when you installed WinMe,
then you *should* be able to revert back to your previous system.

For the description of how this can be done, see the section "REMOVING
WINDOWS ME FROM YOUR COMPUTER" of the 'setup.txt' file in the /win9x
folder
of the WinMe CD.
NB. You can also get a copy of the instructions :-
"Removing Windows Me"
"Windows Millennium Edition Setup.txt File Contents"

Hope that helps and if successful, you can always try the WinMe upgrade
again later. Oh! and good luck

OK, so I installedd Windows ME on a Windows 95 that was a 98 that was a
95.
Long story... Anyway, I installed it and everything worked fine until
after a
reboot everything started to freeze. I could always move my mouse but
nothing
else. If I clicked Control Panel it would freeze, even if I did a
simple
thing such as trying to delete an icon. I left the computer on for 8+
hours
to see if it would let up but no cigar. This happened right after a
Windows
Update so I don't know if it could have anything to do with that.
Please
help
because our family needs to use the computer. Thanks.
