I checked the site that you suggested and, in most cases,
I have tried what was suggested.
I have run my antivirus (Norton) many times over the last
three days. I have checked to make sure that I have all
of the latest virus updates.
I have rebooted the computer many times, have run disk
clean-up, defrag and removed all the temporary files.
The only one that I did not remove was a folder titled
"LastGood.Tmp". It had about 10 sub folders and I did
not know what it was for.
I do not have file sharing software.
I have run Ad-Aware 6.0 and SpyBot 1.2.
I am sure that all that has helped quite a bit but
nothing seems to improve the sluggish performance.
Another note, for the last two weeks or so, I have been
getting a lot of pop-ups that appear to be related to
Microsoft Internet Explorer. I do not run Explorer. I
use AOL and a dial-up modem.
A final reminder for this evening, this sluggish behavior
just started suddenly. It is not a gradual problem that
has been developing over the last few months.
Also, the problems that I has typing my first message
have not plagued me while I was typing this message.
There a few times when things do perform as they are
supposed to but that is only about once in 50 times if I
am lucky.
I hope this helps your, or anyone else's, analysis.
Thanks.
Mark
