Default Repair Reinstall

Milt,

The provisos Mart mentioned are that you need to be very careful about
reinstalling Win Me over itself if you have upgraded to using IE6 and/or
Windows Media Player 9. If either of these are true special steps need to
be taken before reinstalling Win Me such as uninstalling IE6 via
Add/Remove Programs and renaming the WMP file wmploc.dll to wmploc.old.

Failure to do either of these steps will lead to major problems and what
is known as version soup and DLL Hell.

Is it possible to do a repair reinstll of ME? I've read that it is
and I've read that it isn't. I'm having a problem with functions such
as Defrag. and Scandisk hanging up and freezing the computer.
