If I read correctly, you have
all of those apps (except Skype) on the card?
Rule #1: don't have anything that has a today plugin stored on your card! (hint: it'll slow it down!
)
also, skype has a very, very large .exe file that the "shortcut" links too...it tends to cause massive slow downs:
tip: try and deleting the shortcut in your Start Menu and see how that works.
