slow switching between web site links etc

First off, thank you for your patience.
Un-checking that box did not make a difference. The only thing that made a slight difference was to re-enable the pre fetch. I thought of restoring the PC to the time I figure the problems started (about a month ago), but I can't find a way to create a restore point date that far back. I did check in the tutorials and created a restore point, but it does not show how far back it goes.

While I tried to learn to do these fixes myself, I finally decided to get my husband do a complete system restore. He backed up the files with WET and now the PC works like it was new. Thanks for your patience and help.

Thank your husband. That's a lot of work, but works wonders for any system.
