Geert,

Sounds like low system resources to me if you have all these programs open and
running in the background at the same time while playing Fritz on Playchess.com.
 I have used Windows ME from the beginning with this 4 year old computer without
a problem.

If it is in fact low system resouces, this problem is not specific to Fritz but
with any other chess playing program. Close all other programs while playing on
Playchess.com so that your Fritz is the only program running and see if that
helps.
