Hi Bob,

I wondered if it could be Eartholink..  Do you or anyone else know how to 
also tell what programs are starting up when I cut on my computer to see 
maybe if I can take some of those off the start up list. Or a way to tell 
which programs are hogging all my resources and causing programs to open 
slowly or not at all.

Thanks,
christy

thanks,
christy
