No problem, and it probably won't matter.....I suspect, as is so often
the case, that we will never hear back from the OP anyway.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. As I understand it the startup is the
problem. I also understand I just need to remove from startup the programs I
will not need immediately on startup. But, all of this means little to me.

Again, thank you all for your efforts. I guess I will just have to hire
someone to advise me - if this is at all possile with Windows

Did you not see my earlier reply? Do this, and we can give you some
advice:

Download the HijackThis installer, and then install HijackThis.

HijackThis installer:
http://go.trendmicro.com/free-tools/hijackthis/HijackThisInstaller.exe


Start HijackThis but do NOT do a HijackThis scan.

If it starts at its Startup Screen, click the button for "Open the Misc
Tools section", then click the "Generate StartupList Log" button.
Do not check the boxes to the right of the button.

If it starts at the Scan screen, do not scan. Instead, click the
"Config" button in the lower right of the program, then click the "Misc
Tools" button at the top of the next screen.
In the System Tools list, click the "Generate StartupList Log" button.

The log will open in Notepad.
Copy and paste the contents of the log into your reply here.
