I think that one important thing is to upgrade to Win2000 or even better XP. These OSes handle huge memory requirements much better. I think you have a memory problem and upgrading to 1 Gig RAM won't help much with ME. I run XP with 512MByte RAM and 4Gig HD Space left without any problem yet. If it is the case, do remove all morphs you do not need. This saves you additional memory.
