Karen, I do not play with work stations in these cases. If you are dealing with a P4 or higher type processor with a gig or higher ram just wipe the work station and start over. This may depend on the number of programs on the work station, but my rule of thumb is that if I can wipe the station and be back up in two to three hours the is not better alternative. Anyway this is my take on the issue. Stephen Breen

Karen, Remember to check the systems fragmentation, (I like Auslogics ( http://www.auslogics.com/en/ ), great little defrag program). In "My Computer" properties, Advanced, Performance, select "Adjust for best performance". Also, get rid of the unnecessary background running programs by selecting Msconfig from the RUN option off of the System "Start". I tend to run the defrag program often as it will help to keep the system running as fast as it is designed to.

They are claiming that one workstation is running slow. All others are running fine. Is there a list of things that should be checked in addition to the normal differences in CPU speed, memory size, operating system.... They all run a common startup routine for database and temp settings. Thanks a bunch! Karen
