    How slow is slow?
    Has it always been this way?

    Everytime I go from my pc to my mom's I think it's slow cause it is slow compared to my machine;)

    Hi Light,
    Can you post the specs of the particular computer so we can get a better insight to the problem

    Have you run Disk Clean Up & Defrag, there are a number of non-windows defragmenters on offer that run quicker than microsofts but it works well & will do the job required

    regards Jac

    light, download SIW on this link:http://www.gtopala.com/
    save to Desktop > Run > SIW will show everything installed in your comp. You can then enter in your System Details. Neil.
