I had an issue a couple of months back where, after a sudden power
failure, Win 2K Pro on my home desktop became very slow.

  What I did was run Properties|Tools|Error-Checking for each drive volume --
 some required a reboot.  Once it was done, performance returned to normal.

So far, I have tried disabling Norton Antivirus Autoscan but it made no difference.  I have tried to remove a registry entry (tip I got from nospin) that stops w2k from looking for scheduled activities with no change.  The only thing I can think of next is to completely wipe out the c: drive and re install w2k and suffer the
pain.
