Hi Jacque,

Our tech support has encountered a similar problem. If it is general
to all applications, a recent and automatic update of Microsoft
Silverlight, could slow applications.
Ask your customer if he has Silverlight installed. If yes he should
try to uninstall it. Sometime you have to restart windows in safe
mode, because Silverlight slows the system too.


Regards,
