Has it always been slow, or is this a new development? If it's new,how long has it been slow? > I've tried to updating. Exactly what does that mean? What have you tried? What were theresults? Finally, let me make one last comment, and ask a couple morequestions. One of the most common reason these days for a computerbeing slow is malware infection. What anti-virus and anti-spywareprograms do you run? Are they kept up to date? Ken Blake
