Uninstalling programs is a complete waste of time unless the aforementioned
are running at start up, and even then, any performance gain will be
marginal..

Assuming that your computer is free of malware and spyware, look to add more
memory and maybe a different CPU..

Removing applications does *nothing* to improve performance.

What's running affects perfromance, but what's installed and not running
doesn't.

I added more memory and I am very happy about that.it's a great improvement
and the pc is much-much-much faster.also,like the other gentelmen

stopped many programs from running @ startup.Thanx again and you have a
wonderfull day !!!

spywear but i am very upset when i open my yahoo mail there are 439 messeges
in the bulk folder,is there anything i could do about it ?
Thanx again for your advice !!

Is Yahoo setup as POP3? If yes, you might create some message rules to sort
and delete mail. See Outlook Express Help file for more details.

Personally, I like to go through my bulk mail/junk mail folder on a daily
basis. Not often but now and then, a valid email will slip in there. By
checking daily, I can rescue the misdirected email back to the appropriate
folder. Once the valid mail has been rescued, a quick right click - Delete
Junk Mail - gets rid of the rest.

If your email program stalls when deleting a large number of emails, select
a smaller number of emails to delete. Repeat until the folder is empty.

If Yahoo is an web based email account, log on to the website and delete
the bulk mail there.
