Hi Mike,

If I were to re-install WinME over the existing Op System, is it
possible this may remove problem.However I would want to retain
existing files and programs; would this be OK?


John,

Possibly but it depends on how deep seated the problem is.

Note however that if you do decide to re-install Win Me over itself there
are two essential actions you must take first. The first being to uninstall
IE6 if installed otherwise IE and many other associated files will end up as
incompatible versions and cause problems not only with IE but other
components of the operating system that use those files. Secondly, if you
have WMP 9 installed, it is essential that you either delete or rename the
file wmploc.dll to say wmploc.old before carrying out the re-install.

Noel has some notes
(http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk/ME_Gen/r...ver_itself.htm) on
re-installing Win Me that you might want to read before you start.
