computer running slow

[stinkyattic]

i have 63 programs running at start upl.

Doctor, I believe we have found a possible source of the problem!
Go into msconfig and clean that up- you don't need all of those. Strip out the OBVIOUS ones you don't use all the time, like DVD burner programs, adobe, etc- those you can open when you need them.
Leave your mouse driver though, lol!!!
