I was going to suggest that! I checked mine out and it is fine.
However, I loaded SP2 yesterday and in spite of having DSL it took 1hr and 24 minutes. Very surprising. The second part was nearly 100mb so I would think that Dial-up would be a difficulty.
But..................I am left with programmes taking longer to load, boot-up taking longer and I have two involuntary shutdowns. Those I can do without.
Any ideas. Does something need cleaning maybe?
