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.
