Hi Ref your slow machine, im not sure if this will help you or even if you have this program on your system..VA10 launcher.
its that big task bar provided by Sony for quick and easy access to your pics, music, video, ect. i had it on my lappy FS115S and it slowed it right down on startup so i disabled it in msconfig.
it starts alot quicker now. also take alook at other program in there while your at it you dont need everything in there to start up at startup. hope this has been of help to you..
