Hey TFPers,

Wondering if you can suggest what might be going on with Yoshi's PC. While it never was a speed demon, it did fine until a couple of days ago, when it began operating much, MUCH slower. Weirder still, programs which used to open up in smaller desktop windows (i.e. Bookworm, Bejeweled) now take over the screen and cannot be minimized.

I've run Norton and the machine's clean. I've run Spybot and taken off every suspicious file. The only thing I can figure that might have caused this is her installation of AOL 9.0 - which I've removed and reverted her back to 7.0. (Yeah, I know... but she's had the address for years.)

I'm stumped - and getting frustrated. Any ideas/suggestions?
