Hi Melanie,
How old is your PC and what version of Windows are you running?
How much memory do you have?
Is your anti-virus software up to date?
Just a few thoughts...
If you have a large number of files in your downloads folder, some
anti-virus programs scan all these files every time you open your
browser and this can slow down browsing. Clearing out the downloads
folder might help if you haven't done this already.
If you have more than one anti-virus program running at the same time,
this can slow down the system also.

Hi all.
My computer has recently become very slow. I can't even play files from
Youtube or other sources on the internet.
What I have done so far is I have deleted those programmes I don't ever
use
from my computer. Also, I have deleted all temporary internet files and
those files in "my documents" I do no longer need.
I have a feeling this has improved the situation a little, but it's still
not goo enough.
Is there something else I could try to make the system faster again?
Mel.
