desktop)but it is unbearable it is that slow.I was going to delete vista and

Get rid of the Mcafee or Norton as well as any other crapware that came on
the computer like dell tools, advisor or what ever it is called...see if you
have programs starting that you don't need or want like Yahoo jukebox...then
report back.

hey,

if you have any anti-virus that could be the problem or you could see whats
taking so slow by clicking on start and typing in msconfig then clicking on
the start-up tab to disable any programs that you dont need to use at start
up.#

hope this helps
