I went and reloaded Windows ME, and ran a virus scan and several rounds of SpyBot and AdAware SE. I also uploaded all the pertinent updates from Windows Update. However, I still have the same problem when trying to update Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and when loading Windows Security patch KB888113; Neither seems to get installed on this machine. I tried the Microsoft "solutions to the problem, and ended up with having to reload ME, because both Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer got totally screwed up…and yes, I did EXACTLY what their instructions listed.
In additioin, my computer performance is now very sluggish–when My cursor control stops intermittently, sometimes for as long as 2-3 minutes, both while browsing on the Internet or with the Windows browser. PC games that both I and my children might use on this machine hesitate and "echo" randomly. It's very frustrating, and I can't seem to either determine or at least understand the source of these problems.

In additioin, my computer performance is now very sluggish–when My cursor control stops intermittently, sometimes for as long as 2-3 minutes, both while browsing on the Internet or with the Windows browser. PC games that both I and my children might use on this machine hesitate and "echo" randomly. It's very frustrating, and I can't seem to either determine or at least understand the source of these problems.
