Default Re-installing ME

My computer came with ME loaded on it. ME is running
slowly and I've heard that re-installing it will help, but
I did not receive a system disk with my computer. I have
the product key. Does anyone know how to re-install?

Default Re-installing ME

Reinstalling the OS over itself is not likely to improve your problems.
Post the details here, and someone should be able to help - meanwhile....
You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.
