Slow opening Applications

[Bikini Browser]

Hi!

I have a customer who has a DELL computer thats about 1 1/2 years old. It
was working fine. Then one day, we tried to open some applications and it
would take forever for it to open. Once opened, it worked fine.

This includes ANY application, such as control panel, Quickbooks, MS Word,
etc.

We are current with our Norton Virus Protection, and AdWare from Lavasoft.


What could be causing the problem?

this information.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System

partition in turn.


Hope this helps.
