Thank you so much for this detailed info, I will try it.

Ok, thanks for the info, but bear with me, I am new at this-What do you mean by clean install?

Ok, I am done trying to get this thing to work properly. Can I uninstall windows ME and then install 98se with the cd rom I have? I do not have an installation cd for ME as it came already installed on the comp. I have a rescue disk, but it is not doing anything to fix my problem. It seems I am stuck somewhere between safe mode and normal. Thank you for any info on this matter.
