I'm not sure if Roxio is suppossed to be this slow or not, I'd imagine not. I just installed the program and when I went to explore from the home menu to the picture menu it took forever and a day to complete. Once in the picture menu, it took as long if not longer to begin a task! Any advice?!!! My laptop normally runs pretty darn fast.

We could give you a better idea if you would have posted your computer specs.
You may be running into the Media Manager cataloging all your files. Look to the bottom right and see if there is an icon there. Right click it and turn if off. You can also go to Media Manager and turn it off there. Top menu Tools, Select Monitored folders. You can select some or none. The recommendation is to turn it off althgether.
You may need to do that using Windows msconfig - start up programs.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
