February 16, 200620 yr I am experiencing extreme slow down on my internet. I am with TOT broadband with 512kps connection. When I first got it the speed was great, but it has gradually slowed to almost a halt. When I call up a new page it take an age and I normally have to wait five seconds or so until I can do anything with the screen. When I switch from one open page to another there is a delay. And I often experience remains/ shadows of images when I switch pages. The TOT guy has just left after checking it out. He blamed it on MSN Messenger, antivirus software and SKYPE. I explained that it was worse before I put the Anti virus software on. He closed them all down, checked the speed, said it was all ok and left. I checked it and it is just the same. I think maybe it is something in the PC and needs reformatting or something. I know someone that can do this for me. My problem is that I have i-tunes with over 2000 tracks. I don’t want to risk loosing them. I have moved everything else to an area on the PC, but don’t know how to move the i-tunes. Any advice on the slowdown or the move of i-tunes. Thanks.
