Here are some tips to help you if your computer is running slow. (I learned this stuff when I had days off from Amtrak) <br /> <br />1. Computers store data in pieces on your hard disk and the computer puts the data where ever it wants it to go, usually broken up and scattered all over your hard drive. To make these pieces of data organized so the computer doesn't have to go back and forth across the hard disk, open start, programs, accessories, system tools, and click on Disk Defragmenter. It may take a while to defragment but its worth it. It's recommended that you defragment monthly. <br /> <br />2. Clean all temporary Internet files. You can do this by right clicking Internet explorer, click properties, and on the menu click delete cookies, and click temporary Internet files. These files take up hard disk space and are rarely ever used again. <br /> <br />Hope this helps if you have this problem. There are many more reasons why your computer could be running slow, but these are usually the problem. <br /> <br />Amtrak Mark
