[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 590865, member: 22866"] I think a RAM upgrade would help a lot, but some of those issues, like keyboard not working seems troubling. If all the cleaning up others have mentioned and more RAM doesn't help. You might have to go for a format and clean install, and from there teach them some regular maintenance tasks like defrag and deleting old/temp files to keep it running smoothly. Probably the best, long-term move to make, if they don't have the money for a Mac, would be to put XP on their computer. They wouldn't have to buy more RAM in that case. [/QUOTE]
