Reinstall Windows ME

I followed Dell's advice and reinstalled Windows ME. Everthing went great, but my system is now really, really slow. I've defraged, and done just about everything else I can think of. I used to be able to use multiple applications (e.g. play music in the background while I surfed the web) but now both applications get really choppy. I have 386 MB ram so I am totally clueless as to why this is happening. Any ideas?

    You may need to reinstall the ATA 100 Storage driver. Look here:

    Jonathan,
    Don't forget to disable all extraneous applications that are running in the background by using the system configuration utility. Use the resources in this post to assist you.
