Hi Iras, need to work out how to do that! Thanks

I think I have made a fair improvement by uninstalling a number of now unused programmes, but if this does not resolve the problem completely I shall certainly be looking for that new “used” laptop, thanks Gary, 73

Yes, I think you are right Gary, I have made a start uninstalling unneeded programs hoping to make some difference.! 73

Thanks Gary, CPU runs very high, into the red at times, I think I need find out why !
