>Alex Check In IE5 there is a setting under tools - internet options - Advanced Page Tab - Browsing - there is an option for "Automatically Check for IE updates" this could take sometime if Ie is busy. This option is defaulted to ON

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

>You said after the rebuild it was slow..is this just opening files or passing files across the network or just in general all apps are slow?

I have a feeling the slowness has to do with vshield. Her machine is stand-alone, so there's no network problems possibility there.

Thanks!

Alex
