My father is currently running Windows ME on his home computer, and he wants me to fix it. A multitude of programs are running themselves at startup, and an alarmingly high amount of his system resources are being used up. Is anyone else familiar with this OS? Could you just provide a list of all the operations that are necessary to run WinME? I just need a way to easily disable the unnecessary programs so his computer will run more efficiently.

Thankds

There are a couple of things you can try.
You can go to start, run, and type in msconfig and hit ok. There is a startup tab in there. You can stop services/programs from running on startup.

Also most programs that startup have an option to notstartup with the OS. So you may want to try openion up some of the programs that are starting up and go into the properties/settings of those programs and look for an option to stop them from automatically starting up.

Hope that gives you a big more help.
John.
