Regarding your article “Does disk compression kill performance?”: I used disk compression up to now only in separate files, such as photos and documents. I took the plunge on a rather full disk and did the whole thing. It took hours, but the results were spectacular. I decreased the used space from 399 GB to 81.2 GB and the free space was increased from 186 GB to 504 GB. That is a change of almost FIVE times. And, as you said, I cannot see any degradation of processing time. Thanks a million for your suggestions and for this and your previous article on this subject.

You can use tracert to trace the route Internet data packets take as they travel between your PC and any given server (such as the mailing service that delivers the Windows Secrets newsletters). Tracert shows you how long each segment — or hop — of the journey takes. This lets you see where delays and time-out failures occur.

Examining the internet header of a received email gives far better information about where email delays are occurring than tracert (How many milliseconds is six hours? :rolleyes:)

And you’d have to do that anyway to discover the name of the mailing service server that originates the newsletter.

The Tracert support article 162326 says that it does not apply to my system, which which is Windows 7. It only applies to some ancient versions of Windows.

Presumably you are referring to this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162326 ?

If so don’t worry. The details posted there are perfectly valid for Windows 7.
