Worked fine, never a problem. But now it's slow to open files
and emails.

Forgot to mention: just did Spybot and defrag, and the HD uses
Vista for defrag - it's under 3% so should be ok.

Have you checked your power management profiles?

Thanks. I did that. So far it seems about the same, but small
changes might add up.

Ok,

What type of files are you trying to open that are slow, or is it all
of them?

Shawn

Thunderbird seems slow when it opens an email or a post in a
newsgroup.

When I click to open an application, sometimes it opens
instantly but often I'll see the Spinning Blue Ring of Despair
for 2 to as much as 30 seconds. Vista virtually always sorts
things out and gets the job done, but patience is mandatory. If
I click and click while the ring is spinning, I might get a
white transluscent screen and a "not responding" on that
application. I'll have to kill it in the Task Manager, and a
minute later it loads properly.

Hi Ramash.

I understood your post. Just a way of letting you know Outlook was OK with SB
