Unfortunately Windoze has a 1/2 life and as time goes by it just slows down. It's like earwax, it just builds up after a while. The only real solution to this is to reformat your hard drive and reinstall it. First things start loading slow, then suddenly little things start happening (I can't print today, yesterday it was fine now I can't print, etc...) and then one day you are just going to get really pissed on how slow it is and how many things just suddely stopped working and reinstall. Sorry it's not encouraging but that always seem to work for me. If you don't want to reinstall (I understand it's a pain in the ass to reload all your apps and data) I would suggest looking at Mozilla or Firebird. I find the whole Internet browsing thing to be much more enjoyable with Mozilla. HTML and CSS2 renders correctly and I can block pop-ups. Give it a try... Also I've noticed that every time you install a patch from M$ the system gets worse. If you have installed all the "recommended" patches or have the autoupdate feature turned on I would seriously wipe everything clean, reinstall, and only install Service Packs and nothing else.
