Hi Andy, I take it he clears his cookies? If he doesn't over time that will slow a system to a crawl.

In Control Panel. To set these values, click System, click Advanced system settings , and then click Settings under Performance. Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the number most home-users need. How much RAM do you have int hat machine? It may be an idea to upgrade.

A message pops ups saying something about shortage of virtual space or memory, and if I recall correctly, this is something to do with the swap file, but I don't know where to access it, or what to do with it <smile> Help appreciated - Andy
