Yes, and GR should check to make sure there's not too much anti-virus
anti-spyware norton this-n-that stuff running. Sometimes all the 'extras'
slow the machine down too. And if there are a lot of programs installed now
that run at startup, he might be taxing the RAM and causing disk thrashing
which slows it all down. Cutting down on the number of behind-the-scenes
stuff and putting in an extra or a bigger stick of RAM could take care of
that.
As well he might defragment the harddrive, which might speed up performance
a bit if the files on the drive have become highly fragmented.
