You need to increase your RAM And to make it worth your while increase it by 50% or more; you'll see a difference right away. Lots of computers coming out don't have enough to run the programs they have; take those notebooks that burn DVDs and cd's that are sold with only 512 mb of Random Access Memory in them. That's just not enough.They'll be slow; they'll stall and crash without an increase
Also as suggested above clean up your computer.Delete what you don't use or need and clean up your hard drive.

Depends on your computer specifications. You could have the fastest computer in the world and have a virus that slowed it down to nothing. Try not to run alot of programs at once and the speed should go up. CPU and RAM are the main components that affect speed.

Clean the browser caches, remove unnecessary software, see if you have some downloads on your hard drive that you don't need anymore. Also, de-fragment your hard drive using disk de-fragmenter.
