Bios flash?

Here it is, direct from Microsoft. Use the URL should you have any further issues with WinME. I've worked with it before and find it a true pain and time consuming.
Good Luck ......... H

How to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows Me
Click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.

On the General tab, click Selective startup.

Click to clear all of the check boxes under Selective startup.

On the Startup tab, click to select the *StateMgr check box.

Click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes. After the computer restarts, Click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.

IMPORTANT: Look closely at the General tab to ensure that the check boxes you cleared are still cleared. Proceed to step 6 if none of the check boxes is selected. If you see a disabled or gray check box, your computer is not truly "clean-booted" and you may need assistance from the manufacturer of the program that places a check mark back into Msconfig.
After you verify that your computer is clean-booted in step 5, you can isolate the issue. If the original issue does not reoccur after the clean boot, select one item at a time under Selective startup, and then restart the computer to see if the additional entry reproduces the original issue.

How to Return from a Clean Boot State
Click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.

On the General tab, click Normal startup.

Click OK. Click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.
