Try going back to 256 Mb of RAM, as Win 98 seems to have problems with amounts of RAM over 256 Mb.  Believe me, Win Me is a worse OS than Win 98. I just got a new Dell with Win Me, and at a week old, with no hardware changes or additions, it locks up on almost everything.  I cannot believe that Microsoft has continued to dominate the OS business with the outright junk they've been selling.  My next upgrade will be Linux, or whatever comes down the pike that is stable.  Win XP might be as good as they say, but it indentures you to Microsoft.  A very unhappy Dellsoft customer.
