Ricer, I have the following information for you. Steve, thanks for your input, I will get back to you after I have tried a few of your suggestins: -RAM Capacity: 64 MB (extremely low, I know, but it's maxed out) -Free space: 3.81 GB -File System: Fat 32 Speed: 646 MHz -Pentium III Processor -Total paging file size for all drives: 288 MB -CPU usage: 1% - 15% (fluctuates) -I have FOUR svchost.exe in my Task Manager I do not know what PIO or DMA means or how to reset that. I have not been using this laptop for months on a daily basis. I use my mac for surfing the web and checking email. I was basically using it to do my medical transcription. I downloaded AVG when my ZoneAlarm expired. I can't think of anything new I downloaded except the new definitions and letting Windows software Update do its thing. Please ask me more questions if you need to know. Back later to try out some other suggestions Steve made. And thanks to both of you!
