maybe someone else can suggest a better solution than "hit it with a big fucking mallet" to "correct" the issues this POS I use at the office is having.
namely, egregious slowdowns when starting IE or Mozilla, and, in the event that the mozilla service needs to be terminated [either by hand or when the machine gets rebooted, which is as infrequently as bloody possible] because this is such a shitbox, the even more aggravating situation of it losing absolutely -all- of the preferences, save for the bookmarks.
grah. i just want to replace this decrepit thing with something arguably non-awful. it's only the main file and print server for the company. really, i'll be happy with swapping out the mobo/cpu/memory for something reasonable and going with competent onboard video rather than slog along with this. . . thing.
