I haven't had a lot of experience with ME, but here is how you disable a
lot of startup stuff in Win98 -

Go Start --> Programs --> Accessories ---> System Tools ---> System

Then click on the tools menu, and go to System Configuration Utility.
Then click on the Startup tab and unclick anything you don't need
starting up.
