It appears that you compressed the C: drive (according to your post of
Sept. 24). That is more than likely one of the reasons you're running
slow! I'd fix that if I were you...

Start > Run > cmd [enter]
(This brings up the Command Prompt)
COMPACT /U /S /I C:\*.* [enter]
That should do it.

Thanks! I hope I am not aggravating you too bad! lol I started going through
my task list last night and was able to get rid of a few things and I did
notice a slight difference this morning. Some of the things that I need to
get rid of, according to that site, I'm not sure how because the way they
tell you to get rid of it is by purchasing that program and I don't know if I
want to shell out the $ on it.

You're welcome.
Which site are you referring to? As far as I can remember, all the links
I gave you were to freeware utilities.
There are so many quality free apps out there that I would recommend
staying away from any ones that cost anything(Exceptions may include
antivirus apps such as Kaspersky, but even then, I tend to recommend the
free AVG. Still, the best anti-virus application is the one between your
ears...).

Oops, I forgot one part:
Before clicking on the Startup tab, click on the General tab and make
sure that Selective Startup is selected!
