The disks are nearly empty (94% free on my data drive) but it's really fragmented so I'm taking your advice and am defragging it. I tried to look at PerfMon but I can't get the counters loaded. The "performance object" is all numbers, no descriptions. Any idea how to change it? We're also looking into some users who were here this morning but are gone now. Since the problem cleared around noon, we're thinking one of these users may have a virus on their computer. Regards, Roland

Getting full? Run CHKDSK \F and reboot? Defrag fully. Anything besides IMail doing a lot of disk writing/reading? I've seen Windows Auditing (and any other 'logging' service, including IMail's) enabled and that use huge disk space, without showing CPU/Memory demands, but very slow system responses. Check Disk Queue Length with PerfMon, should be 2 or less except for transient events. If sustained operation shows much more than 2, something is making disk demands or the demands are not being serviced fast enough.
