Thanks for the advice...I use a Dell Laptop everyday, and was having the same problems as Iceberg, so I turned Windows Update off and it instantly sped it up...I am still also thinking about cleaning off the C drive, but Norton hasnt found any Virus's and also I used Ad-Aware quite often...But we will see how things go...

Again...thanks for the advise...even if you are a Stinkin Astros Fan...LOL
