I was just going to re-install millenium cause my comp won't be able to handle the XP I tried DL'n aol 9.0 and it said I didn't have enough memory so I doubt I could put XP on there I just wanted to re-do Millenium and see if it runs a little better my comp is F*cked, I should have enough memory because I bought more theres no reason it should be able to DL 9.0 (cable modem) it shuts off and locks up constantly even when its just sitting there and I'm not on web sites, and also I clicked this link one time and it has uploaded all these websites and put shortcuts on my desktop I went into control panel and they are still there and also this one program called "so funny" seems to send emails to people from me but I really didn't send em??
When was the last time you ran a full system scan?
Do that first.
It sounds like maybe you would be best off by wiping out your c drive and installing either XP or Millenium. You can save all your music on to a cd or some disks and then put them back once you have done the re-install.
Not too hard to do but a little time consuming.

I'm not sure I can right them down when I get home, but it will be like check this drive or system error and I'm like Okay now what.. this comp was built for me about 2yrs ago it was the fastest thing out there now its like DEAD weight , my little brother would go on it and shut it down without shutting it down properly ALOT, and he could possibly be deleting files or stuff thats needed to run properly if he doens't know what he's doing?? are these possible??
Again, if I were you I would just wipe out my C: drive and re-install everything.
Just make sure you have all of your software disks.
Once you do this you will be amazed how fast your computer is again compared to how it is now.
If you need someone to walk you through this let me know and I can try to help.

Stacey, i had the same problems way back when, when i had windows Millenium. It was the worst operating system ever made. Worse than 98 first edition. millenium locks up whenever it wants. As long as you have 450mhz and 256mb ram, you can run XP. If you want, reformat the HD, (Hoping you have a cd writer, back up all your data--> songs and such)Then you can re-install ME if you want, and quickly upgrade to XP. ***Thal, you can step in any time here 
*** Final line, do whatever it takes to save/keep your files and get to XP.

what you need to do .. is find a computer shop.. or I guess I can do it.. and bring it to them.... let them transfer your little music collection (which I wouldn't be advertising on a public board) and then completly start from scratch. It will take about 3 -5 hours to do.
That is the best thing. Remember, if your computer has a virus, that is causing harm to another business, you CAN be held responsible.. I suggest doing something ASAP.

Do you have a second computer in the house? If so just network them up and tranfer all your music to the other computer, but there could MAYBE be a problem in your music folder, which would be bad. What if the virus lay in there? If ThaL has no time to do it, i can do it for you if you want.
