Hello Folks- Just got back from hauling 2 truck loads of stuff to Shasta, helping my oldest get settled in and ready for college (he's going to school and playing baseball up there this year). It's amusing- 4 college aged kids [I guess they're not kids anymore

], rooming together in a 750 sq ft house. I got claustrophobic after about 5 minutes inside, but they feel like Kings! Oh to be young again and care free. Heh!
Ok, as always thanks for taking the time to write. As for the double AV, that wasn't intended, scratching my head on that. I uninstalled Symantec (I thought) last week while in safe mode, using CCleaner- then installed MSE. I didn't realize Symantech was still on until you just told me. I went ahead and uninstalled MSE. Regardless, the lagging phenomena I'm experiencing has been going on for about 3 months, give or take.
I'll continue with the xperf directions tomorrow morning. Thanks again!
Phoo
