I went to the Microsoft site this morning and added all the updates. Since then my poor computer is behaving like a senior citizen. It's even printing slower
and stops printing between pages.
Help!!!

Enter control panel > add/remove programs. At the top of the page check Show Updates. All windows updates are marked by installation date. Look for those that you loaded on the day the computer started slowing. Write the name of each update and after having them written down remove them.

If the computer runs better now, start downloading the updates one at a time from microsof. Test the computer after each update to identify after which one the computer starts slowing. Remove it from your computer.
