Grinding to a crawl

[anysia]

Now I know AcerBeast 2.6 ghz is an older Pent4, therefore runs slower than AcerClone 1.6 ghz Pent4 M,but it shouldn't have been running THAT sluggishly and having so many frequent lockups. It wasn't hardware failure, but desperate need for defragging, as I had been removing massive amounts of old data, and just forgot to run defrag.

Still not as fast as AcerClone, but working very nicely now. :)
