FWIW, I used to run ME on a 64MB box (150MHz), with Office 98 whizzing away
quite happily, - so long as the files I manipulated weren't much more than
about 3-5MB, and didn't contain large graphics.
It wasn't the speediest thing in the world - but it was rock-solid.

Is that under system properties/performance?
If so I have 128 MB with 40% free

Forget about 40% free, it is a rather meaningless measure. Once again
remember that unused memory is wasted memory. With 128MB of RAM and an
"in use" swap file hovering around 64MB it is possible that adding 64MB of
RAM might show some small improvement but whether it is worth doing is
perhaps debatable. The Win Me box I have here runs quite very happily
with 128MB of RAM with a copy of Office 2000 installed as well as Corel
WordPerfect and PhotoPaint plus all the usual utilities, etc.
