One more thing, if I may ask, essexboy...
Can you tell me if having a lot of different files on my PC--i.e. mp3's, JPEG's, MP4 videos, etc. would be using up a lot of memory on my PC, even when they are not in use?
Part of the problem I am still having with my PC, even though I have used all the tools you sent me the links to use to clean it up some more, is it takes a long time for things to load, and anymore, if I have two different windows open, a lot of time when I go to close one of them, it will take several seconds for the open window to close. What happens is, when I click on Close, it will slowly start to disappear starting at the top of the screen and from top of the screen to the bottom of the screen it will slowly close, taking its time to completely vanish. I've read as much as I can find on this, but can't find the problem. Also, do I need to or have to keep this Internet Explorer that came with the SP3 download, since I no longer use IE? My computer seems to be running slower, and when I am either doing a reboot, or shutting it down, up pops one of those windows telling me that a program is still open--in this case it says "explorer", then the small blue squares within the little window start to appear from left to right as it's taking its time closing. Is this IE running in the background?
Thanks so very much, essexboy.
