Default slow computer

Hi Fred,
As I mentioned in my previous post, try the link I referred to, and do a
thorough "clean up" on your machine.
And PLEASE, don't resort to crapware/garbage/snake oil/useless P.O.S. like
RAM Rocket--totally bogus software that they actually want you to pay money
for.
I wouldn't use it under any circumstances, even for free. None of the
MS-MVP's would use it either.
Curt

Please look for info. on "Memory Leak". It appears to be
your problem. Program strings are left in RAM due to
sloppy shutdowns. Each Shutdown adds to the loss of usable
memory, until the system comes to a crash or hang. To test
reboot the unit and see the increase in response.
Look for "RAM Rocket" via search. Small s/w to reset
memory.
