You may want to look into adding some more memory (RAM) to your computer. It will give your computer more ability to swap between applications. You may also want to run a spyware scan (i use ad-aware http://www.lavasoft.com) to see if you have any little visitors. A virus scan would not hurt either (http://www.avast.com). All of that stuff is free.

A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php

How lots RAM are you working? upload extra in case you have too many courses and little or no reminiscence. sounds like your tension might desire to be fragmented, this many times ends up in sluggish establishing of courses and lags. Run a diskcleanup and then defrag. a sturdy defragger is Diskeeper. It defrags notwithstanding in case you have under 15% loose area/ might properly be set to run right now whilst you utilize the computer. you could obtain trial variations.
