As Pete said, the Startup folder, also type msconfig into the run box (start
menu) and disable some stuff under the Startup tab.  Oh and also those cheap
mobos, if they have a modem, its usually a soft modem, and they bootup with
that running, it takes up resources.
Hope this helps,

Curtis

Yes -- the onboard video is using 8 meg  - leaving just 56 meg for Win ME

BTW-- there are a number of programmes starting up (on startup).  Whreabouts
in the Registry do I turn these off??
