>>A related question-I did delete some programs to make more disk space. However, the icons are still displayed on start-up. Is this normal?<<

The icons are because you have not completely uninstalled the programs. It is almost impossible to completely uninstall Windows programs as there are so many shared files. Uninstalling and reinstalling a program will not necessarily clean up your harddrive although it can cleanup the individual program.

The icons are not doing any harm and do not take up much disc space. I am sure someone can tell you how to delete them if they bother you.

I did not mean to imply that in order to fix your churning you need to get a new machine. My implication was that you will note a significant overall performance increase with a Pentium class machine.

I use Netscape and my machine starts to churn after surfing for awhile, I accept it as a Windows thing. I will not go back to IE. The Opera browser as discussed on the Opera thread sounds interesting.
