I am unable to download any files on my laptop, it has trouble starting, takes a long time and freezes up randomly. Also I cannot access any of my dvd disks with my music on them.

Remove these entries.... F3 - REG:win.ini: load= F3 - REG:win.ini: run= Also how many programs do you set to have run on startup? How much RAM do you have? How old is the laptop? What type of burnt dvd disks are they (verbatim? memorex?)
