I just want to hang around and see how cmsg makes out. This seems to be a very common occurrence with ME. Maybe it?s time to move onto XP or back to 98SE.

This is a very common occurrence with Windows ME so I don't believe your PC is rubbish, at least based on your original issue. As I stated earlier, it might be time to upgrade to Windows XP which doesn't have the defrag issue that you are experiencing. :)
