i think the biggest problem is opening new programs and swtiching between open programs ... like if im on aim and click over to my internet explorer window it takes like 4 mintues to load a window that was already open before and not even minimized. i used to to use mozilla firefox but recently that has just been shutting down while im using it without any warning ... if i hit alt and tab to change windows or to go between progams its as if my computer freezes for a few minutes before very slowly changing programs .. just thought id add a little more detial .. thank you in advance for all your help i have used this site once before a few years ago but im not sure what steps i took or exactly what information was needed anything else you need to know im glad to supply more info

thank you
