Answer 4

Try this program...it is a set up utilities to help you Tweak Windows settings, Clean up your Registry, clear out startup (similar to MSConfig but you can DELETE/Create the startup selections) and even speed up internet Access...

TuneUp Utilities 2007...a free 30 day trial can be found at http://www.tune-up.com

Another thing i would do is Clean up any spyware you have in your system using either Ad-Aware or Spybot: Search and Destroy....both can be found at http://www.download.com

Answer 5

It depends upon why it is running slowly.

Do you have a lot of operations running in the background that you really don't need? If so, shut them down.

Do you have insufficient memory (RAM)? Boosting RAM can speed things up.

Do you have a lot of programs open that are hardly used? Shut them down.

Beyond this there is little that you can do.
