Another question is when's the last time you did a fresh install of your OS??? Your computer will always seem very fast and responsive once you do a fresh install but as you continue to install and uninstall programs your computer will tend to get slower. A couple quick fixes may be to run a disk defragment or a scandisk. I'd say give those a try before resorting to a fresh install.

You don't have to do a fresh install. Sometimes a second profile will allow you to find the weaknesses of your maintenence and allow correction. Can't remember the Thread, but Louie had a great procedure for second FRESH PROFILE. Works great for testing BETA DRIVERS
