Computer Problem?

[pwdrive]

I understand all that but why is it slow, it never used to be, it used to work fine, something must be using all that memory etc, I might start deleting some programs, when I click uninstall it shows a load of programs and the date they were installed, there's those with a common (ish) date that seems to be when the PC was first bought, I'll leave them, but go through the others...publish and be damned, memory upgrade etc, might sound mad to you guys but I can't be ar*ed.

If nothing improves then it's not fit for purpose, that's always my bench mark, it will mean a new machine, time's money.

I'm grateful for everyone's efforts so far.

Lawrence.
