HI,

Gee if I would get all my correspondence into one post

How many other programs do you have running when you are running AW2000? Count those even behind the scenes such as your virus protection, MSN Instant messenger, etc.

If you have quite a few programs running in the foreground and the background, you might want to consider re-configuring the Start up menu so all those unnecessary programs are not running in the background.

And do you have the hard drive compressed to save space? And is the "Index this drive for faster file searching" enabling. If so, trying unchecking both options as they can and do slow down your computer's performance.
