A major cause of slow PC's is fragmentation of the hard drive.
You need to defragment the HD at least once a week if not more depending on how much you use your computer, and what you do with it.
A great program for defragging automatically is Diskeeper 10. It costs $30 but is well worth it. Go to www.download.com and search for Diskeeper. Read the Publishers Description and the tech and user reviews. It can be scheduled to run automatically as the program deems necessary, and if you are using your PC and the program launches itself, it will take a backseat to whatever you are doing and give you the priority for CPU usage. I think you'll agree it's a good program to have. It precludes your needing to remember to defrag at regular intervals.
Also, another major cause of a slow PC is programs that are running in the background. Here's another great program, and it's free. Go to www.sysinternals.com and download the program named "autoruns". This utility will tell you exactly what is running on your PC and provides a nice and easy way to shut down the ones you don't want to boot at start up. Once you have it installed use the tabs at the top of the window to access the various categories. If you use the "everything" tab it will overwhelm you because the list is massive. All you have to do is uncheck the box next to the program name and the program will not start at your next boot up. Hurry as this site has been bought up by Microsoft and these free programs may not be around much longer.
Another good thing to have is a little program called FreeRAM Pro. It is free and is available from www.download.com This program puts a little RAM meter on the System Tray and shows how much RAM you have remaining that you are not using at any given time. With only 256M of RAM I think you are going to be surprised at how little RAM you have to run other programs. Also, once it is installed you can right click on the little meter, then click on RESTORE and it will open the RAM display window. You can tweak the settings so it will display your CPU usage also.
Hope this helps.

erase your cookies and cache memory. Delete some programs and or files youre not using. When you program a program into your computer always make sure you do not agree to having the program open automatically on startup-this will make opening your computer very slow. The less space on your computer the slower it will be also...defrag your computer and do a disk cleanup. (both under the start menu, accessories, system tools...defrag and disk cleanup)

It's likely that you have far too many startup programs, you'd be surprised how many programs put something into the startup group or registry run sections.
Use msconfig to view what's going on before adding more software.

Run msconfig.
Go to start - Run - Click on start up - You will see lots of check marks. Those programs run when pc starts. The more programs checked, the slower your pc. Just keep antivirus program checked.

if you upgraded fron anothe os version your comp probably doesn't have a fast enough main chip or enough random access memory. you'll have to upgrade them or go back to the old os.
