Re: OT: Web runs slow after RAM upgrade

(Defrag kept reaching 1% done, then dropping back to 0%, ad
infinitum). The reason being all kinds of crap the kids had installed that
went into Systray. Someone here suggested an ERD boot, then running Defrag
from the Command Prompt. This could not work, because -- like so many WIN
things -- it is GUI *only*
I don't know what ERD stands for, but the simplest way is to bring up the
program manager (ctrl-alt-del) then close everything other than "explorer."

Also, you might get rid of the things your kids installed by doing
Run/msconfig, going to the startup tab, and unchecking with abandon
(unchecking only prevents stuff from loading at bootup, doesn't erase
anything).
