I find that slow systems are almost always caused by malware. You can use Spybot Search & Destroy ( http://www.safer-networking.org/ )
or Windows Defender ( http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx ) to help remove such software on your system.

Try doing a disc clean up. IT will take the unecessary stuff off your computer, Go through your files and deleate all things you dont need, and also then do disc defragment. This should help a lot. If you dont have a lot of hard drive space it will be slow. Also you could try putting some more ram in your laptop, this will help it, but if your not sure how to do this go to a computer shop and get them to find the one you need and fit it properly. I also suggest doing a virus scan and a spyware scan. The are both as damaging as each other. Clean your laptop u and it should run better!

Maybe you need to perform a Disk Defrag to keep everything running as it should, maybe disk cleanup as well, you can enable these through Scheduled Task and that way Disk Defrag and Disk Cleanup will be done automatically and regularly. It also depends on how often you use your PC, if you use it occasionally then a Disk Defrag should be done once every 3 months, if like me, you use your computer all the time -every day, then you should perform Disk Defrag once a month. You can access these by clicking on the Start Button and then All Programs and then Accessories and and then System Tools and it should have Disk Defrag and Disk Cleanup as well as Scheduled Task there.

Yes, you can buy more RAM (Random Acess Memory) to let the comuter make more procces per second. You can also defragment you drive by right clicking on your harddrive (most likely C:/ drive) and pressing properties. Then you click the Tools tab, and click Defragmentation. It will rearange a lot of files for you and will greatly improove the speed of your computer. You can see your hard drive by going to "My Computer". You can also remove some programs you don't need by going to the start menu, and clicking "Control Panel". Then, press Add and Remove Programs and remove usless programs you don't use. After, remeber to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

defrag, scan for malware viruses. Remove extra programs that don't need to be in your start up sequence.

if ur pc is running very slow...try this
the best thing to do is buy more ram...i went to best buy yesterday and got a pc3200 512 ram stick for 52 dollars
but if u do not want to do that...then try this and u will see a difference.....first off lets go to start..control panel...add/remove programs...go in here and remove anything u do not need or use....next..go to start..double click my computer..double click c drive..go into program files....remove any folders that u just removed from add/remove programs......next..go to start..run..type in......... msconfig..press ok ..in the new window..select the start up tab..select disable all...press apply,press ok..close it..do not restart yet.....now go to start..run..type in..prefetch....press ok..in the new window that pops up..go to edit in top left..select all..press delete...close window now....now go to start..run..type in temp..press ok..same thing..select all/delete.....now go to start.all programs..accessories..system tools..disc clean up...after it has finished analyzing...put a check next to all..press ok..yes u are sure.....
now go here....download this program called regcleaner from worldstart.com...http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-downloa...
after u have it downloaded and installed on desktop...open it up..click i agree...u will then see a new window open...it will list all the software on your pc.....at the top of reg cleaner..select options..registery cleaner..method..automatic....... go to tools..registery cleaner..do them all...it will then start to scan..when it is finished..u will see the list of software again..close reg cleaner..u are finished with it...u just cleaned your registery........now go here..download this..it is called ccleaner.....http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.h...
now to use this..once it is installed to the desktop..open it up..click analyze...after it has finished analyzing..click run cleaner...repeat this process 3 times...next..on the left hand side of ccleaner u will see issues..click that..then click scan for issues
after it has finished scanning for issues..click fix issues...all issues..no back up..close...run this process untilthere are no issues..then close ccleaner...now i would do these 2 things here...download ewido (now called avg antispyware) it is free for 30 days full program...after 30 days it reverts to free ware..u will lose automatic updates and the realtime protection...but still..this is one of the best to scan and remove threats with...before uscan
try this..go to start..control panel..folder options..view...u will see a few items with checkmarks..check "show hidden files and folders"..press apply..press ok.....now update ewido..run full system scan....after scan..remove what it finds..then go back to control panel..folder options,view..reset to default..apply ok
now this is not gonna make the pc superfast like adding more ram would..but this will clean the pc all the way up ..get u all the free space ..and make sure no viruses are on it.....i hope this helps u a little..good luck
