I just tried to post a question, and I was told it was an identical query...I do not remember posting a problem with slow performance. I have a new 8200 Dimension series. Some web pages are slow to respond. Do I need to remove some programs from the start up menu? I am a new user, and would need to be walked through it. Is there something else I should do. I understand a lot of stuff is "THERE" from the factory, that could be removed. Catlover 52
