This can be a long answer as there are so many things can go wrong. But the most common reasons are
-- Too many background processes
-- No disk space or fragmented drive
-- Less memory or applications with memory leaks
-- Computer running for long time
Windows defender lets you explore the running application (Tools / options / software explorer menu) . You can go through the list and stop applications from starting up. Spy-ware or another scan will also help. Watch for messanger (Yahoo/AOL/MSN) take a lot of ram about 25-30 MB. So it's good idea to load this applications only when needed.
You need about 30% of hard-disk always free for a good speed. If there is no disk space the windows paging file ends up on fragmented disk space and slows the PC down.
You need about 1 GB of RAM for all the application to run properly . The 1 GB min doesn't include shared video memory if you have this.
If you are running a laptop and you always hibernate then the memory leaks also consume a lot of memory. Solution is simple always shut down computer at least once a week.

It could be that you are running too many programs at once, or your computer could just be slightly old. Try defragmenting the drives "Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter" and see if that helps at all. Alternatively you could just upgrade the Processor and RAM but try the Defragmentation first.
