Val is struggling with a defective internet connection...

[john tucker]

Val,

Sometimes the problem can be with your computer itself. If you are using 
Windows, one of the first things to try is to defragment the hard drive.  
For most versions:
Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Defragmenter

Hope that helps.

John
