Is there any Tweaks to make programs open faster with dial up? I have Firefox 2.0 and sometimes it takes programs for ever to open.

I don't know how advanced you are with regards to a PC.
THIS WILL TAKES SOMETIME TO EXPLAIN.
OK......first off all PC runs slow because of all the crap that are on them first thing is to clean it all up.
open Internet explorer,find tools,Internet options,you need to delete files,cookies, history,delete all,you must trust me on all of this.
find days to keep history,I'm sure you have it on 20 or 21,every time you visit a web page this stays on your hard drive,that's why pages take so long to load,Because its searching your hard drive......put it on zero.
OK that's cleaned a little.
next click start,all programmes,accessories,system tools.disk clean up,do both drives.
next click start again,all programmes,accessories,system tools,disk defragment,analyze both c and d to see if they both need a degragment.
here is a free virus scanner link,by far the best i ever seen.
A computer needs baby sitting and has to be cleaned up regularly.
i do this at least 2 times a week.
one other thing you can do is to click run, in run type in msconfig
here is your system configuration,which show you what programmes are starting up,be carefull not to disable what you don't recognize,msn,you will see in there,Example that you can stop this if you wish,look around to see what you want to start up or not...?

This is a memory thing. Check how much memory you have and if your motherboard can be upgraded with higher memory as each has it's own limits. Second, go to Start, run, type MSCONFIG. hit the startup tab. Check off the programs you don't want running in the background and shoud free up some memory. There is some software that runs in the background even though you have not open it and eats up your memory. Hope this helps!
