Have you checked for viruses? Also, if you have installed another program,or changed any other hardware, that may have something to do with it. I changed video cards in my P3 600 & went from 12 hours, to 19 hours average for a data unit . It's running Win 98 S E .Cured it by finding updated drivers for the new card. I also have one on M E , but don't see much difference in the time it takes .
