The last time I had trouble like this the good Dr. Broni was able to work his magic and bring this old dog back to life. I just wonder if the life is out of it, freeze and is extremely slow etc, about any problem a computer can have is wrapped up in this system. Is it a virus or just a worn out computer?
Thanks for any suggestions folks.

Not being a virus expert since I run Linux. And not knowing your computer specs. Or if you are suffering from Windows Rot :dunno:

All I can suggest is when was the last time you defragged and used disk cleanup to unclogg some things?

Broni , Jram, GRS, and Dobhar will be the expert reply when it comes to answering this thread. Wish you the best of luck with it,

Edit: :fat_face_sad: whatever happened to smokey? Sure miss his posts.

Thanks Rokytnji for the reply, I do defrag all the time but I think it is a little more serious, probably to the point of having to break down and get a different computer. Broni bailed me out last time this happened so I hoped the old computer may still have a little life in it but not on life support.
Again, thanks for the response I do appreciate it.
