Well, thanks for your reply Bill. Here's what actually happened with my PC
about a month ago. Because of whatever reason IE was getting slower...Dell
ended up replacing my hard drive free of charge. I had a 120 GB drive, and
my PC was still under warranty, so I got an upgrade to a 160 GB drive. I had
to reinstall XP and save all my important documents, but it was well worth
it!!! Also, most recently I added another 512MB of RAM to fill my PC to
capacity...a whopping 1 GB of RAM. Everything is speedy fast now!!!
