Now what? For the past few days, my computer runs like a slug. While typing this, I look up at my monitor to see it displaying 4 or 5 letters behind what I'm typing. Sometimes it stops cold for a couple seconds before displaying anything.

Task manager shows both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player are CPU hogs. I have 2 monitors running, one with a single chart that stays up all day, nothing else happens over there. On my main monitor I have my mailbox open, along with 2 or 3 Firefox windows, all minimized until I want them.

Sometimes task manager shows CP usage up in the 90% range while very little is actually going on. Sometimes I have to use Task Manager to force FF to quit, then start over with it.

Ideas sure appreciated.

Win 10, updated per MS. All else current as far as I know, including FF.
