- Yeah, I get that a lot too. Like the page loads up and there's a white screen and I have to scroll down to get to answers. I also haven't been able to give points to anyone either. Is it me or the site?

- Oh good, I have had a lot of computer issues lately and I thought something else was sitting there mocking me going "nah nah nah, you can't find me". 'Bout read to take of the defenses and let the hackers and the virus's and all the little evil things that go bump in the night have a heyday (or hayday, whichever lol) Yay, my points are working temporarily!

Right, stretch your fingers. I'm assuming you've XP

download startup.cpl and stop any programs you don't need from loading up at startup.

After this you're going to go to control panel, system, advanced, performance setting and select "adjust for best performance" and OK

Next select the Advanced tab and ensure both boxes are selected at programs. Hit the change buttin and click on the system managed size box and hit OK, OK, and OK. Then restart the compy.

This should cut down your RAM usuage by about 30% and if it's still slow then you can do some further tweaking by asking me or by going to crucial.com and buying some more RAM

- I found out that my defender pro anti phishing protection was the problem. It was on high alert and deep scanning websites as I entered them. I thenk you for the info, I think my techie friend had actually tried that step. :) I wish I could give more points, you went into deep detail. I'm sure it may come to help me later, our computer seems to always be on the fritz lol. Thank you!!!

- You can use the public computers at your local public library. I've done that, and they work very well.

  Thanks for the points.

- Figured it out! I just got the 15-in-1 Defender pro and had it on constant alert for anti-phishing. I shut that off and it's back to working flawlessly.
