If I wanted to close everything in the background except what is needed to run AH. What would that be on a system running win ME??

Explorer and  systray are two that you need. There are a couple more.

If you are having problems, make sure AH is starting at highest priority - in 2k you do it in Task Manager (c-alt-d). Not sure about WinMe.

Make sure realtime antivirus checker is OFF, as well as all the other obviously unrelated stuff.
