I have a HP Pavilion ab157. OS is Vista. It is running so slowly that I could read a chapter in a book while waiting for the web sight that I requested. I have removed "cookies"; I have ran a defag;Used zonealarm thinking that there were problems in that directions. I have spyware, clean pc and nothing seems to speed up this machine. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
