    That is always a good try. It should overwrite any damaged files.

    I believe that fixed it, I don't think it was ever properly installed because I never really completely installed wmp9 I autoupgraded to 10 while 9 install was in progress.

    Glad to hear it. Still haven't found any details on the slow user (except the Guest).

    Have you tried to setup another account?

    I deleted the family account, that I had previously. And then I created a new limited account named Family and I turned off fast user switching and ran all the programs that normally would of slowed it down but it seemed to keep up rather well, but after I created the account and logged on to it the first time it said something about Windows NT in Windows 3.x directory and then it had options to migrate files so I clicked them both but I've never seen this screen before so I hope that was the right thing to do, now I would like to set policies with group policy how would I go about that, I want the family account to be very limited, limited program access, limited internet access, everything.

    Is it possible that my third party software Advanced Security Level and my very strict policies for the Family account could have caused it to be slow?

    For a basic overview of Group Policy go to start Help and Support

    After it opens type in the search box: group policy

    The Group Policy tab is the most general help there.

    Just from a glance at Advanced Security Level it looks to be a very similar tool.

    I'm still trying to figure out what caused it to be so slow, I don't wanna use the same program if it was the cause.

    I'm looking at Group Policy in the help as you suggested and it says that all the changes will made to everyone on the computer I don't want restrictions for my account only the family account how do I do that?

    Try the tab: Using Group Policy

    Customizing your computer using Group Policy

    To open Group Policy

    Click Start, and then click Run.
    Type gpedit.msc and then click OK.

    When Group Policy opens, you will see two options in Local Computer Policy: Computer Configuration and User Configuration. Computer Configuration allows you to set policies that apply to your computer, regardless of who logs on. User Configuration allows you to set policies that apply to each user who logs on to the computer.

    etc.
