I strongly suspect that the piece of offending software is WinME... You really should avoid doing anything serious or worthwhile on WinME, as the chance of losing it is fairly high. Do a clean install, or if you can afford it get a decent OS, like Win2000, steer away from XP too...

If you can't afford it, get Linux, download it for free, or buy it for $30. I've got a Copy of Mandrake 8.0 I won't be using for a great deal longer, you can have it for $10 if you like.

:)
