Yeah, there's a 30 day copy of mcafee on this pc - if I disable it then speed (at least initially) is loads better, although it steadily drops. I'm uninstalling it at the moment - or trying to, but it's not happy. Currently in the process of rebooting the PC, and have been for several minutes. I'm going to go watch an episode of "Medium" and if it hasn't rebooted by the time it's finished the PC will get the big ol red button. Sometimes the stuff that comes preloaded on a PC can be good, but most of the time it's just too much grief for nowhere near enough benefit :(

Cheers,

Cliff
