I used the PCPitstop.com (free) service to check machine performance. For a system that otherwise tested as "good," Drive C had uncached speed of 1.66 (compared to "normal," and Drive D, at 2.65).
Before any testing, Hard-Disk was first checked, and cleaned up using ScanDisk, Defrag and other commercial tools.
Using START > Accessories > System Tools > Configuration > TAB Startup, I shut off antivirus programs. For retest I also excluded all other non-ms routines. Got same result.
Where do I go from here?
