Could be tons of stuff. What does "my computer is fine" mean?? You think it's fine and somebody else thinks different. So you have it looked at by somebody and you hear all kinds of stuff. A lot of security on your computer slows things down. Too many temporary files. I guess we all need to read our manuals.

Answer 5

Have you recently upgraded your web browser to IE 7? When I first upgraded to IE7 it ran so slow. I then had to go to the microsoft website and download another update to IE7 and some patches and it worked fine ever since. Try it and let me know how it works.
