Some apps very slow loading

Comment:

Hi, I have some apps which has become very slow to load. Specially Notepad and AcdSee. For some time ago they would load in 0-time. Now they take about 3-5 seconds to load. Someone can figure out the problem? Thanks

RAM is 2 MB and the drive is defragmented. The point is those applications loaded very fast for just a litle while ago...
