Hi Ray, when you click on links in the browser does it take as long to open? If it does then the pc probably just needs a good cleaning up. If not, clean out all the mail folders of stuff you don't need anymore and then compress your mail folders. Then send yourself a couple of links in an email, make one of the links to a page with just text and the other a link to a page with heavy graphics and see if they both open slowly. If they don't then your antivirus pre-scanning the link in the email may be the reason for the delay. If both open slowly then you may just have a corrupt file.

Let me know, Sean
