thanks Administrator 2 - I don't know why but it will not allow me to defrag - has a note about something else should be run instead when I go to defrag. Computers feel like a foreign language to me. I wish we had a general computer course available - I'm not stupid but just can't understand a manual telling me and not showing me how to do something. Appreciate all the help on here though.
Sometimes computers run slow when there is a great deal of adware on them. Try down loading search and destroy, run it, reboot, run it again and reboot and you should see a big change.
I did it and it helped a lot! Thank you for the reccommendation.
