I actually installed KAZAA over a year ago, and attempted to uninstall
it after it made my (WindowsME)system more unstable than usual.

And that's really saying something!

Right now I'm on the verge of just saving important folders and wiping
the hard drive clean. But since it is a Compaq, it's going to be hell
installing an OS on it.

It'll be well worth your while though. If it's fast enough with more
than 256MB of memory, get Win2000 or XP on it. If not, consider
getting your hands on a copy of Win98 SE. Windows ME is a horribly
unstable piece of poo, unfortunately.
