Do you have virus software installed? Do you have a spyware sweeping program installed? Spyware can slow a computer down to a crawl and cause it to refuse to shut down or open up properly and can cause error messages, and not all virus software or every version of it checks for spyware.

AOL software can also be very eh, proprietary and sometimes down right vicious. During my unfortuante years with AOL I found that sites I could not access through AOL I could access by minimizing AOL and bringing up either Explorer or Mozilla's browser.



Maybe that explains why a computer will be running fine for a few days, and then a few days later it slows waaaaay down, and when someone comes to fix it they run fine again for awhile (this sort of thing would happen at school)
