If you are comfortable re-installing Windows, and you have all your 'bits' backed up, it's possibly worth doing that..With W95, W98 and ME I found myself re-installing my o/s every 9 months or so-once I noticed it slowing down, if I couldn't identify why, I did it..maybe a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but it worked for me!!!
