It's still very slow in general; I think I may have some other issues....with hardware.....the on/off button has been giving me trouble....it doesn't want to power on...need to try it several times....also, I'm thinking I may need more RAM - have 504 MB ......I wanted to rule out the nasties first....any suggestions? I was thinking about taking it in to a repair center and see if they can do a "once over" on the hardware ...thanks for your help..JD

You have a huge number of items running at start up which are unnecessary, which in turn can most definitely slow down the computer. I can give you a list if you wish and see if that helps with the slowness, it should. Adding more RAM is also a good, and generally inexpensive way, to speed the computer. What you have is not enough. Go to crucial.com and they have an online test to do which will tell you how much you can add and the cost to do so. Their prices are very reasonable, usually the cheapest you will find.
As far as the on/off button problem you may need to take that in and have it checked.

Ok, give me a bit to make up the list and I will also link to a Free program to help control them too.

Your amount of RAM is somewhat low. You should consider adding more RAM, this would certainly speed the computer and additional RAM is not that expensive and generally easy to add.
To stop unnecessary starting programs and services which will certainly release necessary resources I recommend that you use this FREE program CodeStuff Starter
Download and install. It is very easy to use. When you open the program you will see three Tabs. Startups (these are the programs set to autostart and run all the time in the background when Windows Starts up.
Processes which is much like the Windows Task Manager which shows all the running processes. This is a bit more complete however, as it shows all files running with the particular process, and Services. These are the items which run as Services when Windows starts up.
Many of the Startups and Services can be stopped and run only as needed manually.
First click the Startups Tab and you can remove the check marks from those noted below. Unless noted as users's choice, all are not required to run at start up and can easily be run manually when needed. Those labeled User's choice can all also be run manually but there are some if you wish to leave running at start and all the time are ok. You will just have to make the choice. Nice thing about this program is IF you choose to stop something from running at startup and then decide later you would like it to run you just go back into the program and put the check mark back in, telling the program to run at start up.
Unnecessary Start Up Programs

TkBellExe>>>Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. Not required
nwiz>>>Associated with the newer versions of nVidia graphics cards drivers. Allows you to immensely improve desktop layouts by setting preferences and optimizations. However, this isn't necessary for the operation of your system. It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources.
QuickFinder Scheduler>>>Used to schedule indexing of documents readable by WordPerfect. User's choice
