Webuser Forums: Slow Motion omputer

Hello again everyone! Long time, no post...

Just wanted to check in because I'm having some problems with my computer running very slowly and "working" quite hard on very basic functions.

Not positive, but this seems to happen especially after having a number of Internet Explorer 7 "tabs" open at a time...

I'm not really having anything crazy happening to the computer (thankfully), but can I make any changes or clear anything out to make this bad boy run faster and not get locked up simply starting, stopping or even reducing a window?

Thank you SO much!
