Looks good.

• Double-click OTM.exe
• Click the CleanUp! button
• Select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? Prompt appears
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself

It should be running a little better now. There's not much more you can do that's going to make a significant difference other than upgrading the RAM.

I've found other browsers to be better with XP than IE8. Take a look at Chrome

Many many thanks for all your assistance over the past couple of weeks. My computer is running better than its ever been. I dont understand what you meant at the end about browsers - best stop while I'm ahead!

Once again, appreciate your help.
