Hi There ---
It's probably been 2 years since she used it. It has (as far as I could
tell) has 37.24 GB. I dont know why the '24' is tacked on there for, cause
when I went to look at the puter information, that's the figures it had on
there and since I have uninstalled a lot of stuff since I got it --- it
only has used up approx. 1/8th of that 37 GB.
But what I dont like about it --- I use Classic on this desktop, and when
I put her's on Classic, the set up was so totally different, but kept it
there so I could change to my colors and task bar from that bright blue to a
soft gray, but regardless of how many times I re-did that, besides cutting
it on and off, that blue task bar would never disappear, and the reason I
don't like it is cause the icons were terribly tiny. I dont understand why
that didn't change when I was able to change everything else by right
clicking on my desktop - properties, appearance, then advanced and select the
colors I wanted. Thanks for your prompt reply. Harriet

The slow defrag/chkdsk times aren't completely out of line, especially if
it's been some time since it was done.
If it's still slow, I'd look elsewhere for the cause.
How much memory does it have, and how much disk space is left?>>>>
