Please note I'm an intermediate user, at best. My Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop has somewhat suddenly become excessively slow to open its Windows 2000 Pro desktop. It takes several minutes.

When I click on the 'delete' button on a file/folder then it takes about 5 minutes for the delete dialog confirmation to show up (and while it's waiting, the window is frozen.) I can't see what's going on; CPU isn't being used, and neither is much RAM; any ideas?

I've heard that XP Pro can be installed on more than one computer and I was wondering if it's true and, if so, how many? I've tried searching the MS website but can't find an answer to this. Thanks.
