Well i tried the speed up link and it ran for almost an hour and when it had
3 mins left it just went off and back to my desk top and there were no icons
on bottom task bar so i had to restart with alt ctrl delete. When i start
computer it still takes forever to load and when i hit mozilla after it loads
then i have to wait all over again and one click wont wrk,, perhaps ill just
hurl it into my swimming pool.ty so much for the help anyway :0)
