Hullo Vamp,

I guess the subject line says it all -- basically I've noticed that my PC is a lot slower than usual, whether it's opening a media file (i.e. a video or just a playlist in WMP) or opening Microsoft Outlook (where we receive our clients' emails). Speaking of Outlook, is there any way to block those blasted junk emails about prescription drugs and stocks? The office email keeps receiving swarms of them.

Worse, though, is that while trying to run Defrag and ScanDisk this morning, I got the message in Scandisk that it has had to restart 10 times because something's been writing to it etc. etc. Defrag couldn't run either because there was an error or something. So, am a bit freaked out 'cause I don't want to lose my personal and clients' files (I know, I know -- who does?).

Despite the above though my comp still works -- for now. Thus, I'd be totally grateful for any useful comments / info on the above. If additional info is needed, do please let me know and I will provide it.

Many thanks and best regards,

// angela
