Now that I see your original post again, I'm reminded that you
mentioned a slowdown, which makes sense now of Anne's post.
LOL. So....never mind Anne. ;-) (Hence the importance of the
original post in a reply).
The easiest thing to do first is start with the disk cleanup
(right click the drive, Properties > "General" tab > "Disk
cleanup" button). Then do the usual chkdsk and defrag. If
that doesn't help, then find out what you installed and changed
since you installed SP3. Then remove/disable those programs or
changes and see if that helps.
I'm not sure what you mean by "When I move my mouse up or down
the list of programs it seems to hesitate going where I am
pointing." Where and when does this happen? Everywhere? Just
one folder?
What does the Task Manager show for your CPU usage? Watch that
for a while when you see the slowdown.
(Back is a bit better, thanks, it's really slow getting over
these flare-ups. I have a few herniated disks and sciatica
from them).

I'll leave it on and check for something else. I have removed
many files
to increase the disk space by backing up files that were quite
large.
Like pictures, movie files, map files, etc.
When I move my mouse up or down the list of programs it seems
to
hesitate going where I am pointing. As if it is busy and then
it catches
up. (not the mouse pointer but the indication that it has
selected it.)
How is that back Clint hope it's healing.

Have a great day
