Judging from others on this site and elsewhere...it is a
common problem associated with Windows Updates....I have
installed all the Windows updates on my P4-3.02Gh,,,and it
slowed down also...I will uninstall the updates tonight to
see if it fixes the problem....Microsoft seems unwilling
to help or admit the problem....
