Solid advise would be greatly appreciated. My Win XP started yesterday running very slowly with all programs and web pages. I tried to print newly made Business cards tonight and it takes about ten minutes before my printer would acknowledge my pc. I never had this problem or any before at any time. I have a 1.6Mhz pentium 4 with 20Gig bite memory and over 3 Gig bite of memory room unused. Once I click a particular function it takes forever to start. Almost as if I have a Pentium 1 333Mhz system. Open for expert advise. Thanks in advance. John

John;
Do you have any idea what changed?
Try System Restore to Date/Time before this started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

Also follow steps #1, #5 & #6 to check for viruses and spyware:
