Whilst surfing I had a problem with something. All the fonts changed size and colours went strange. I had a pop up window telling me there waas ome problem with something in explorer and that I would need to re-install windows (ME).
I rebooted and things seemed fine, but odd things had been happening so I though I should re-install anyway.

But now whenever I look at explorer windows or My Computer the thing goes REALLY slow. OK to look at an individual drive with a shortcut, but not trying to open a view of all drives???

Any clues? Do I need to install again? Do a fresh install (rather not )

1) are u using anti virus?
2) is your windows full updated - using windows update online?
3) the message may have been an advert/joke type message - never heard of a reinstall windows message in my 10 years experience
4) winxp rules

Thanks - always nice to get some feedback

1) Using Grisoft AVG - keep regular updates
2) keep Windows update active automatically
3) hopefully not a joke 'windows window' but problems were occuring before that event anyway.
4) I can't buy every new operating system MS produce, I've had Win 3.1, Win95, Win98SE, now WinME... Will it ever stop? - Every one they claim is now THE one to have

Thanks

seriously xp is extremely stable. upgrade is very cheap in comparison to the problems you wont have!

u should be able to pick it up for as little as £65 for an oem version
