Hi Lou and Shirley. Thank you both very much for your help. I used to be very good about maintenance, but stopped when things were hectic here. Once I resumed using my computer, I didn't continue to do the proper maintenance. :( I tried to defrag last week and it wouldn't let me. Don't remember the wording -- I will try again tonight and if I have the same results, maybe someone can tell me how to resolve the issue. Thank you both very much! It is really appreciated!

presume you dont do any maintenace work then? you should delete old tempory internet files regularly and do disk defrag. Go to Start> all programs> Accessories>System tools>disk cleanup & follow the instructions. The do the same again & on System tools click on disk defragment & follow the instructions. deleting old files & defraging will speed up your system(PC I mean LOL!!)To delete cookies you go to tools at the top of this page.then internet options ,click on delete cookies. But i do the disk clean up & defrag on a regular basis you need to do the disk defrag if you do lots of downloads

Go to My Computer Click on C Drive with right button for drop down bar On the drop down bar click on properties Click on Dick Clean up. That should get rid of all the temporay files.

My computer no longer functions properly. Embarrassed to admit I don't delete cookies often (please don't ask when I did last). Could some kind person please remind me how to do this?....trying to get ready for work.....I'll send proper thanks when I sit back down here. Thank you!
