George, as she's using a Toshiba, she will have Record Now as her CD burning package. Not sure if I can help her check the CPU, as she's not as geeky as me <smiles>, but thanks for the suggestions, greatly appreciated.

Have you checked to see what per centage of use the CPU is at?

Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 1:31 PM Subject: [access-uk] Laptop advice Hi all, I'm posting on behalf of a friend whose computer is sluggish to the point that it's slow enough to do anything, even checking e-mails on her wireless connection. She suspects it's a computer virus, and I advised that she keeps an eye on it for now. The thing is, though, she has AVG 7.5 Free with the latest updates, and therefore I would be surprised if she's picked up a virus that AVG failed to detect as so far she's not had any since using the product. What advice can you give, apart from keep an eye on it? She's using a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP Home SP2 with all updates, and JAWS 8. This has only happened today. Thanks in advance for the help.
