After running certain programs (itunes or Google earth) all my other Windows programs act in slow motion. Minimizing or maximizing windows takes good 2-3 seconds and it goes slow. Any idea what the cause could be?

Shut the extras off.
Right click on "my computer"...click on the "advanced" tab... then click the button under "performance" This will allow you to turn different effects on and off to speed things up.

you are useing too much power, and useing too much system resorces
1 you could add more ram
2 you might have nothing left on your HD so make sure that you have a few GB left on the HD the computer uses it for other stuff then just storage
3 you can buy a new computer, even a cheap(400) computer can run Itunes and a the web and your e-mail at the same time and do some other cool stuff

Something is taking up your processor's time so that other operations have to wait until they execute. Try opening Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and clicking the 'Processes' tab. Click the 'CPU' header to sort highest to lowest. That will at least show you what is taking up the processor. If you don't recognize the file name, search for it on Yahoo! to see if it should be there. Good luck!

It could be that the program used alot of your resouces. Mine use to do that often until I added more RAM to it.
