Vista slowing down over time (20 min)
Basic functions such as directory navigation and even web browsing slow to a
grind after about 20 minutes of use of my Vista Ultimate. Most noteable are the following slow-down issues: 1) Opening a folder such as "my documents" on a fresh restart will open instantaneously. After about 20 minutes of use, it takes approximately 15 seconds just to open the folder. The same is true for most other directories. Restarting temporarily fixes the problem -- for 20 minutes. 2) When browsing the internet upon a fresh restart, I can always type in URLs in this form "www.blank.com" and it will immediately take me to the page. But after 20 minutes of use, it will take approximately 15 seconds before it will take me to that page. If I restart the computer, it works just fine -- for 20 minutes. 3) Computer generally behaves sluggishly after 20 minutes of use. INFO on my computer: Recently I did a clean install on my machine with Vista Ultimate. Afterwards, I installed all drivers and updates. Then I installed McAfee and Office 2007 Ultimate - nothing more. I did not move any files onto the computer other than about 5 word documents. I have gone into msconfig and disabled all the startup items, including McAfee, Microsoft Defense, and Microsoft Groove. This does not remedy the problem. Here are the specs on my computer: IBM Thinkpad T41 Winodws Vista Ultimate Intel Pentirum M prcessor 1.6 GHz 1.5 GB RAM 60 GB HD (35 GB free) ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5.0i Can anyone help me? I'm at my wit's end. Am I going to have to dump Vista?

Vista slowing down over time (20 min)
For anybody that is interested. I determined that the problem was a
domain/user name that my school had set up for my on campus usage. For some reason, there were some incompatibilty/bugs that were affecting my computer. All fixed now.
