Answers to all three. Upgrade to Win2k.
Oh yes you want to use Adobe products, I'm sorry you're stuck. (but you
can quietly seethe about Adobe not supporting any earlier OS from
Microsoft, I do). There are ways to shut most of that crap off, until
the next damned upgrade from Microsoft turns them back on. I'll have to
look them up if someone doesn't tell you before I get around to it.
