Sorry, but we don't just go through those logs, because someone decides to post one. 

Before running scan disk and defrag....clear out your temporary internet files and 
other temp files then run scan disk and defrag. Go to Start - Settings - Control 
Panel - Internet Options. Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet 
files, choose to delete all Offline content and click Clear History button. 

Go to Start - Find - Files or folders - in the named box type: *.tmp and choose Edit 
- select all - File - delete. Do the same for *.chk. Then type: temp. Empty the contents 
of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Delete this folder 
- C:\Windows\Applog; it will be re-created at bootup, but it'll be empty. Empty Recycle 
bin. 

You can safely uncheck Taskmon in msconfig, as it's unnecessary to have in your startup 
and uses resources unnecessarily. Go to Start - Run - type: msconfig. Enter or OK. 
Plus, download Windows ME's defrag tool and replace your original. It's much faster 
than Win98's. (this is the ME forum, btw) ME Defrag

Normal mode:
Close all tray applications then hit Ctl_Alt_Del and End task on all items except 
for Explorer and Systray. Disable your screensaver by temporarily setting to "None." 
Run scandisk in "Standard" then defrag, but first, in the defrag settings, uncheck 
"rearrange program files so my programs start faster". Reboot.

If you're using Microsoft Office, follow Microsoft's instructions to kill the Find 
Fast Indexer. It interferes with maintenance. Do NOT renable it; it's usless and 
uses lots of resources. Kill Find Fast
