My next door neighbours computer has slowed right down to a crawl and
I'm at a loss to know why. Win95 has been reinstalled but it takes
minutes to open some applications, access the floppy disk and the cd
drive, open windows etc.  I suspect something to do with memory access
but not sure where to start. ( It has 32mb RAM)  The son of the house
has been loading lots of bits of games and demos on to it and maybe
that has introduced something. Apart from the slowness everything
seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
