Okay, now we're grasping...but I'll try it!
Remember though, that this is a brand new system. It has has the
following installed:
Windows 7
Avast Antivirus
Adobe Acrobat
and my application along with VFP9 runtime files.
I haven't even gotten as far as installing printer drivers.
Unfortunately, just tried it and the defrag didn't help any. But thanks!
