   Thanks very much for your help.   
      
   I don't have Autoruns (yet) but I did try using msconfig to set it to   
   booting without Startups.   
      
   It seemed to make an improvement, and things ran faster, and so far I   
   haven't discovered anything that has stopped working as a result.   
      
   Looking at the Task Manager, a normal boot shows that 1.25 GB memory   
   is being used.   
      
   Booting without the startups it shows that 419 MB of memory is being   
   used, and after running MS Word 2003 it is 422 MB.   
      
   I might try to get hold of Autoruns later, but I can live with that   
   for now.
