Hello Pinkcowprint - Have you tried deleting the history/internet files from your PC - this takes up tons of unecessary space which will slow your PC down, to do this go to 'TOOLS' 'Internet OPTIONS' - then click on 'SETTINGS' and 'VIEW FILES' this will then give you an option to delete the history and all the internet files, each time you visit a site on the web it downloads little bits to enable the pc to remember the page if you wish to go back to it....also other annying bits such as useless jpegs, gifs, etc....hope this helps.
