First i would like to thank you for looking at my problem! I am running a Pentium(R) 4. 2.4 GHz. gig ram XP pro fully updated. I have a slow explorer or something . It is slow opening most files and control panel and all the icons in control panel. i have searched this forum and found some problems very much the same as mine in other posts. One titled Slow computer with strange IE7
I have a hjt log and a rkr log that i will post and lots of other logs for the asking.

i followed this until I got to select everything and had to stop because i had nothing and no homepage ether.Go to start - Control Panel - Display Properties - Desktop - Customize Desktop and click on the Web tab.
Select everything listed there (except for "My current home page") and click on Delete.
Click OK and on the next screen click Apply.
I have a hjt log and a rkr log that i will post and lots of other logs for the asking.
