If you haven't seen it before and the computer is more busy than it used to be I might wipe it totally and do a full install.
Though... who knows my x86 box just chats on and on with the WAN here. I know because of activity lights on my router. I have no idea what it's doing, but my machine is clean...
Boot up BeOS and the activity light behaves as exspected.
I agree with Bloodline. I don't know how youhave made it this far with windowsME. This was Microsofts crown stinker. Quite possibly the worst OS of all time (arguably worse than Windows 1-3).
Get XP for sure... or better yet ditch it all if you can and go BeOS R5 w/ Gobe Productive and watch the machine you thought was outdated scream. (That is IF you hardware is supported :-) )
