Your description of your system is rather fuzzy but I've run across several computers that slowed way down after some updates from Microsoft. The fix has been to add more memory in the cases I've seen.
Good luck

You may just have a slow processor, not enough RAM, and too small a hard drive to handle your needs for your computer. I suggest buying a new computer with at least a 80 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, and a 3 MHz processor. Or, if you know how to, you could buy just one or two of those new parts and install them yourself. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Well the only thing left is you probably are running out of space on your hard drive....

buy more RAM, this will enable more programs to run at the same time faster, you will be surprised how many background programs are running. Go to this link to see which type of RAM you need
