    Yes, but Safe Mode with Networking. In pure Safe Mode, you won't have internet connection

    I suspect, it may be Kaspersky slowing you down.

    A few weeks ago, I changed my printer from one computer to this computer (about the same time I noticed things getting slow) and I uninstalled the software from the computer the other day. Today my daughter said the computer is a lot faster now. I'm thinking that may be my problem with this computer. Any way to check to see if the printer software is my problem without uninstalling it?

    You can always try to reinstall it.

    I was going to do that, but thought, maybe there was a way to look for a conflict of something. Just wanted to make sure before doing anything.

    Thanks agian Broni.

    Yes, if you have some spare time, you can investigate.
    Do this...

    Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
    msconfig
    Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

    Click on Startup tab.
    Click Disable all
    IMPORTANT! In case of laptop, make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.

    Click Services tab.
    Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
    Click Disable all.

    Click OK.
    Restart computer in Normal Mode.

    NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
    If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

    Assuming, everything runs nicely with the above settings, go back to "msconfig" and start enabling services and startups, you just disabled, BUT one by one, restarting computer each time, until you'll find a culprit, which slows things down.

    Good luck and keep me posted.
