It might be worth trying the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, especially as you've spent out on Win 7.  I can't imagine that a 3 year old computer would struggle that badly.

Could you post the results on here?

As for your other post, what is Sb?

The content of instant messaging conversations isn't stored anywhere centrally.  you can write whatever you want in a conversation, you can threaten to kill whoever you want, the only people that will see it are you and the person you're sending it to....and it will only be saved if either of those people are saving logs.  Microsoft will not have your personal chatlogs, like I said, you have only two ways of getting them back: either find the CD that you saved them on, or if the other person logged them you can get them back that way.

Also, as I said before, please don't double post, use the 'edit' button instead.
