My lap top is about two years old has always been pretty quick.

Over the last few months is slows down quite a bit especially on intial start up.

Opening first page takes 10 seconds or more sometimes then after that its a few seconds a page which is ok.
Now and again it will really slow down like its doing something but I havent asked it to??

Its not just on the net either as sometimes i can go into my documents and flick between pics really quickly and at other times it takes forever like its thinking about what to to.

I have ran CCleaner and other spyware type programs, done a disk cleanup and ran a AVG virus checker but they dont detect anythin gout of the ordinary.

any ideas folks??
