    Has it been slower than usual?

    And also, Slow in what way, as in is it booting up slower? or does it take longer to process?

    thanks.

    Hi, provided your problem is not virus related you probably could just do some maintenance. Uninstall old unused programs, defrag disks, prevent programs from starting at startup, clean your registry. I use a program called Tune Up Utilities and I find it keeps things in tip top shape. You may just have to much clutter. But then again it couldn't hurt to update some ram too. Here's a link for the Microsoft Safety Scanner which is free to use

    I've used it and it was ok, took ALONG time though to run so if you use it make sure your not going to need your comp for awhile. Hope that will help!
