As above, it literally takes about ten mins to boot up, and if you try and do 2 things at once (such as have media player or roxio running) whilst browsing the web, you have no chance as it takes ages for anything to happen (never used to)

I have broadband, wiv norton 2002 runnin and zone alarm, i recently downloaded service pack 2 also.

It never used to be anywhere near this slow and is very frustrating, i have a 40 gig hard drive and have a bout 100 mp3s and about 30 short vid clips and about 400 pics, could all of this stuff be slowing it down??

Any ideas greatfully recieved
