First let me thank you for your reply.
I have run the scans you suggested. I am referring to the Equium laptop (the first lappie is no longer here, I was using this for reference only).
I have a gut feeling that there is still something wrong, as even after a thorough system cleanup/defrag etc, the system is still slower than I would expect. I have played around with MSconfig, and while this helps I feel there is something not right (it was the same with the earlier laptop too, so there is some consistency)
