Hello Nancy, Friday, May 6, 2005, 7:24:35 PM, you wrote: NT> It sure **seems** slower.... What I'm trying to find out is if your whole system is lethargic, not just the internet side of things. From your other posts in this thread I'd say your likely problem is either virus based or perhaps a massive infection of Spyware. Run your virus scan and see what turns up, but also try downloading AdAwareSE from www.lavasoft.de and after updating it, do a full scan of your system. You may be amazed at the number of Spyware items it'll find !! Just having a few of these things will not make any difference to your PC but when you get hundreds of them ( or thousands ) then they really do cause a performance hit. -- Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@yobunny.co.uk MicroSoft Free Zone running Xandros 2.0 Deluxe
