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?>>>>
