I know. But when I have seen threads about a FReeper asking for help with Windows ME, and now THIS, it just makes me want to pull my brain out, have a look, and see if its been bruised or something. This is incomprehensible. I would love to help, because I can, but at some point I just must refuse.
As other helpful FRiends have said:
1) More RAM
2) New computer + more RAM
3) Superman bicycle repair won’t help you, nor does he want to.
4) Duesenberg
Yep, I have cleaned up a lot of computers (old & new), and most of the time the problem is not a virus, trojan or root kit, but an adware infection.
One of the most common parasites is the “weatherbug”. Talk about a scam.
Of course there are all the games that have adware as part of the install too.
To be honest, the finger push-ups (clicks) aren't too bad, but I really hate the reverse crunches my index finger has to do with the wheel!
(I did find sommat neat - if I 'click' the wheel, the cursor turns into a bomb-sight and I can fly all around the page looking for targets!)
It’s not possible using WindowsXP without creating a BartPE or other pre-install environment before each boot because you have to load the USB drivers before you load windows.
Alternatively, you can learn Windows scripting and create a boot snap-in script to create the cache on each boot.
Both are a PITA and not worth it because SD cards are painfully slow as cache drives.
My suggestion would be to buy a cheap WesternDigital Caviar Blue Drive and use the following free tool to clone your drive: http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119
AMEN!

But it just seems to be SO much work! : ((
