For some reason in the last couple weeks, my development machine has slown down. It now takes as much as 10 seconds to launch a program, once launched it seems fast. Especailly on IE and VFP8. Outlook launches fast. IE takes nearly 10 seconds, VFP8 takes over 6 seconds. THese were relatively instantaneous.

Im running 2.2GHZ 512MB ram XP Pro.
Recently defragged, recently rebooted.
30% of a 40 gb HDD is free.
Under performance, I have everything set for maximum performance; all the visual effects are turned off.

Looks like im headed for a system rebuild.
