The best repair is to get rid of Millenium Edition. That was a piece of crap from beginning to end. I ran a dual platform when my computer came with that because I didn't want to buy new software drivers for some of the peripherals. HP finally put out new drivers so I could update it to Win2000Pro and completely get rid of ME. I've used XP Pro for a couple of years now, and will leave it in place till I hear enough good things about the new OS that I consider it worthwhile to switch.
