Thank you, sky.

I have ad-aware as well and use it often. I also do a "clean disk" often, etc.

It runs GREAT when surfing and stuff. We don't really do downloads or the such.

It's start-up and logging on and off two different accounts...it takes FOREVER. Now I realize that I can cut out some programs that automatically start at start-up, but I think it would still take forever (for instance, hubby doesn't have those start-up programs and it still takes his forever to get up and running from hibernation or log on.

I hope that made sense?

Thank you again!
