Hi BC,
From your reply to Eric, the machine seems to me bloated with programs thathungry for Memory and it doesn't release the memory on exit causing the
system to slow down. Also badly written programs and lots of Dots installed
to run a programmer tools can make the machine slower than you think.
For a programmer, you need either to clean up regualry and make sure the
programs you write is well maintained or you install Windows that often on
the same machine to avoid the clutters created by writing programs and
installing developer software/suites!!!
Also, what scanners/tools you used to scan for the infection you mentioned?
Note: some written programs can write or cause dirty bits on the Memory
sticks after a while, so make sure the memory is okay by running a test.
How much RAM installed and How much Disk space left on this machine in
question?

Sorry. The machine is a Lenovo T60p with Windows XP (but then, this is the
windowsxp forum.)
Since this is a company machine I am somewhat limited in what 3rd party
software I can use, especially shareware, but thanks for the suggestions.

This morning on startup (before logging in) I got the message "Warning -
Registry Recovery. One of the files containing the system's Registry data
had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was
successful."
This is the first time I've seen this warning. Should I be concerned?
As Jim mentioned you should be concerned, but you need to make sure the
machine malware free and Virus free by scanning with an up2date security
software. Also it will be of a help if you mentioned what operating system
this machine is!

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.
