Mary the problem is most likely a cache shortage. Many Aptivas were sold starved for cache memory. This makes a huge difference. Cache memory has become much cheaper since, so if she buys as much as the main board will handle that will improve immensely. I presume the memory is at least 32MB. If not get on that to a maximum of 64 MB. 32 ought to be plenty for medium-sized MS-word task. <it seems like it takes forever just to boot the system> If the computer has undergone a lot of use then the disk drive may be fragmented. Run the defragmenter. Also the virtual memory as default in windows allows the OS to create and destroy files all over the disk. If there is a lot of disk activity while sitting doing nothing, this is symptomatic of MS puking on your system. Set virtual memory to be a single file of fixed size. Greg
