I hope someone can help. Lately when I try to type an email or even as I'm typing this, the letters I type don't show up right away. I will type a sentence and nothign shows up right away, and then after a minute the whole thinkg I typed shows up. Why is it going so slow?Wen I try to scrolll down a long page, that goes slow too,. The cursor seems to blink slowly also. Waht is wrong & how can I fix it?

Are you on a network? sometimes network issues can cause similar problems. You may also want to try scanning for spyware/adware, as some malware can eat up processing power as it runs in the background.
Try SpyBot S&D (www.spybot.com), and also scan your computer for viruses.
