Lately I've been having problems with Windows ME freezing.  It usually happens when I am trying to shut down my COMPUTER.  It freezes when I click on the Start key, or when I click on Start then Shut Down.  This has also happened when I have left the computer on and unattended for 20 minutes or so (after logging off the Internet).  Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL has no effect.  I have run Defrag (in Safe Mode) and deleted .tmp files.  I have not added any new programs lately.  

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!BEST thing to do would be to backup all the data (NOT PROGRAMS!) that you can, pictures, music, word documents, ect. and format your hard drive, then re-install windows ME.check your ram, it may be the problem. If not like Dead_Reckon said "best thing to do would be to backup all the data (NOT PROGRAMS!) that you can, pictures, music, word documents, ect. and format your hard drive, then re-install windows ME."There is a perfectly good way to do a repair install of ME without having to format and re-install all your applications...if you are somewhat comfortable with command line editing let US know.
