Hi THE, I was able to run the FIX in FRST. But when I restarted the PC, the slowness continues, but this time this message came up during the login process. "Location Not Available C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, an then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location." Then the desktop did not have any of my previous icons. only had 3 icons for generic programs. Do you still want me to run adaware? I was able to get a copy of the fix log before the reboot. Regards, Doug Fixlog.txt
