slow,slow,slow!
Here's the problem: I think I have redefined the word 'eternity' - its when I restart my computer (after having installed new software, for example)-it takes forever to come online again. Accessing e-mail and certain other progams has also become incredibly tedious and slow, with numerous 'freezes' along the way.
Ironically, once I am eventually online, internet usage happens at the normal speed. Usual protections installed, i.e. Adaware, Spybot, Norton antivirus and firewall, etc.
Any help would be most appreciated. Before my pc takes a long walk off a short pier.
