Slow as in taking half an hour to do password checking etc.. I have to switch it off at the power button.Can someone help find the problem?I'm using an IBM ThinkCenter 3ghz, 1 gig memory and I've about 2 gigs of free space on my partition.Regards,Zatlite> > _________________________________________________________________> > Hotmail to go?
