Hello,

I would appreciate any help possible. This is the first time I have tried this type of forum, so hopefully I have everything you might need to help. The basic problem is that when I turn on the computer, it takes 10 - 15 minutes to completely boot up to the point I can start using it. I am running Win XP Pro on a 1.9 Ghz system. Once up and running, if I have several windown open, like IE, Quick Books, Email, etc. It may take 30 seconds to 2 minutes to switch from one window to another. Hard Drive seems to run constantly when computer is being slow in responding to normal tasks. Any thoughts?
