After reinstalling Windows Me, I found that both startup and printer speed became very slow. Disabling all startup-loaded items still does not change the boot speed. Before reinstalling, I found a DOS command file of more than 6MB in the root directory of the original Windows (not the usual DOS stuff under windoWs\command\), and I don't know what it was for, but I didn't back it up. Now both booting and printing are very slow. Could this be related to that DOS command file?

Are you sure there's no virus?
