Answer 3

Go to my computer and R click on the C drive, choose properties and see how much space is used up on your hard drive.  If it is more than 50 percent you need to move some stuff off to CDs to give it more room.

You should also run a scan disk or disk defrag and that should help.  Go to Start, Help and type in defrag and it will show you how.

You also might want to go through and delete temp internet files and also get a program like Adaware (freeware) search on the internet to make sure you are loaded with tracking bugs.  

Try these things and if it doesn't help all that much - ask again.
