Thank you. I ran Easycleaner as recommended by Bryann and then 
defragmented the drive. Although the 40GB disk was only about 10% full, 
it was indeed badly fragmented. Bad FAT32. The PC is now much more 
lively again and does not freeze up anymore. I think it was still faster 
half a year ago, so maybe I'll go ahead and format the disk when I have 
time (all important data are on the OS/2 server, only the programs have 
to be reinstalled).
Thanks again to all you guys for the valuable help.
