My pc has become extremely slow in start up - it takes about 3minutes to start up and load my icons - then internet has become just as slow - doing emails is slow - then the other night it would not shut down at all eventually I had to pull the electrical connection (I hate doing) just to find a blank screen for 2 days. This evening it just froze completely and I had to force shut down again.

If you can get the computer to boot and stay booted for long enough open My Computer, hold the mouse on the hard drive and tell me the size of the drive and the free space.

If you have a shut down problem, on the first post screen press the F8 key and on the advanced boot options select Safe Mode with Networking and see if stays on OK there.

Hi Macboatmaster,

I am not the original person that asked the question but did not reply - but I have the same problem with my DELL VISTA PC, which is 6 years old now and incredibly slow in booting up and even longer in shutting down. I have unticked (I think) all the itmes I do not want to load up when I boot up. I am by no means a PC technical person and would appreciate your advice. My Local Disk (c:) says: 340 GB free of 465
