I have a Win ME PC

OE opens at normal speed but when I click to:

- read a mail- it takes forever to open
-reply to a message - it takes forever to open

it is very SLOW.

I ran
- adaware
- AVG virus scan
-Scandisk
-Defrag

Still very slow.

What else can I do ?

Any suggestions ?

PLEASE HELP I AM NOT TECHNICAL.

Thanks
Ava
