you may need to defrag you hard drive this can make things run faster,you need to go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, disk defragment, when the page loads just press defragment and leave it till it has finished then close the program, you can also run disk clean up this will get rid of items that you don't need like Internet items and files that get downloaded while loading and on the Internet, when you press clean up a page will load with boxes that need to be ticked and if you highlight the item it will tell you if it is safe to remove these files or not.

spyware removal and defragmentation will speed it up ... so will having less overall information on the drive ... a C drive is fastest when its less than 1/4 full ... just "cleaning up" wont help much unless the above criteria apply .. more or less.

If I were you I would run Defragmenter. Also Disc cleanup. This would clean up all unwanted files. You may also want to delete all your cookies because they take up space.

It might, also check for spywares and viruses and there could be something on registry.
