I just formatted my hard drive and installed win me and office 2000. After upgrading all the apps, i now find its going slower than before i formatted it. Could it be anything to do with kazaa and does anyone have any tips on how to make it faster?

The only obvious bottleneck in your system is your OS, exhange Me for 2000 or XP. And if your compare a fresh install with a almost fresh install with Office ontop of it you will notice a big difference...

Dunno if you have Win98 but here are the instructions for it:
Go to System Properties (Control Panel->System), then to device manager tab. Choose "Disk Drives" section and then double click your hard drive. Turn DMA on.
Also, I think that OfficeXP is better (just mine opinion).<B>My Mk4 Combos:</B> <a href="http://zelda.hit.bg/sonya.avi">Sonya</a> | <a href="http://zelda.hit.bg/reiko.avi">Reiko</a> | <a href="http://zelda.hit.bg/reptile.avi">Reptile</a>

ME is pure distilled evil, Win2000 is probably the best OS M$ has done
personally XP annoys me
I like OSX though, and some of the new Linux Distro's are pretty sweet too.Bringing Death by Sexy.

theacj, I recommend moving to XP. It's better. Try it and you'll see the difference.

After another formatting and selectively installing stuff, my pcs now running great even with winme. The new nvidia drivers are great, much better than the last ones for me anyway.
