About a fortnight ago, I noticed my 'puter was getting slower and slower. It now takes up to a minute to 'fire up' sfrom start (I timed it).

I deleted cookies and temp files and history but it didn't make much difference.

Then I tried to do a system restore but couldn't get any dates to restore back to.  It offers todays date only, and when I click the previous month - nothing happens.

I haven't installed any hard or software either.

Whats up?
