    VERY SLOW PC START UP

    I'm afraid I was right, I do only have 248 MB of RAM. And I think this is the processor 'Celeron(R) CPU 2.20GHz'. If the RAM is the memory size, then I have loads of memory left so why do I have to add more RAM. I always run the Disk Clean up utility, but I havnt defragmented for a while as...

    VERY SLOW PC START UP

    I think thats a bit of an exageration. Just at the minute it is working perfect, later on it could suddenly throw 'A TANTRUM'. There must be a reason why it does this. If there was a problems with RAM etc etc then why would it not be slow all the time. The worst one is when you just switch it...
