WindowsMe hangs (Winmgmt.exe not responding)

After installing a home network, my computer now hangs and freezes every few seconds or so. The clock eventually becomes 20min behind the right time even though I may set it to the correct time earlier. I would like to solve this problem because it is very annoying. Any clues? I networked using a Linksys Homelink Phonline Cable/DSL router and the HPNA to USB adapter from the same Linksys line as well. I networked to a Windows95 computer, but I don't think that should effect my computer. I do have BlackICE running, and Norton AntiVirus, etc. Also, I read somewhere that Creative Labs sound devices could cause the delay/hangs. Is this true? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Well your first problem is Window's ME. Get rid of it and I'm sure your problems will disappear. Window's XP makes home networking a lot easier, so I'm told. And ME is the worst version of Window's ever made.... but for a temporary fix.... hmmm... let's see.

    I could be wrong, good chance on this one, but I don't think networking an ME computer to a Win95 computer is a good idea. Did you try running the Network Wizard on ME and installing the disk on the 95 computer? Do you see the Win95 computer in your Network Neighborhood?

    I'm not sure if BlackIce is your problem, but you should try to shut off and see if it helps. I would also recommened ZoneAlarm instead. More people use that then anything, and it's free.

    Well now that I look back, I probably didn't help you at all. Oh well. I tried.
