Well, you have an Atom processor and 1 GB RAM. That means this is a netbook, isn't it? I don't know, but perhaps you don't have SATA drives in there, just IDE ones, which would give you that message. It's another indication that perhaps your computer doesn't have the fastest components. Running Geekbench would give us a better picture.

[My one try with a netbook didn't work out very well. I could not run BIAB on it with more than one RealTrack. Also, it died after a year, but that's another problem.]

Don, did you try the tweaks I mentioned above, and the test Bob gave?

Another thought: how many programs are running? Do you have a lot of little icons in the lower right? Do a Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Task Manager, and report how much CPU percent is free. See anything you don't recognize taking up a lot of the percent of CPU use?
