I have an HP Vectra VlLi8 DT running Windows 2000 with 260 mb ram. It seems when I have one or two programs running and then click Start, it may take 5 to 10 seconds for the menu to display. I would like to correct this slow response time. This slow response also happens when I click on a down arrow to select another drive.

Only one way to find out. Run TASK MGR and see what process is stealing MEM or CPU

I had the same trouble with Vectra VeI8. You do not mention if you upgraded from a previous OS - this could be the cause as upgrades from Win 95, Win 98 or Nt 4.0 are "not Recommended" by Hewlwtt Packard on VILi8 pcs. When I formatted my pc and did a clean install of 2000 all my problems disappeared! hope this helps
