I'm told Norton is a real resource hog that slows the computer some. I've abandoned Norton in favor of Avira Antivirus (free).
Also, you could have one or more bad drivers. I'd start with your video driver and make sure it's the latest version.
Lastly, make sure you have some good anti-spyware like Spybot Search & Destroy, and Ad-Aware SE.
Even more, you could try off-loading your vids, pics, & music to DVD or CD. This frees up hard drive space that can be used for virtual memory. Then run the disk cleanup, the disk defrag.
Good Luck

Depending on the exact issue at hand, a thorough Google search may be be your best bet at resolving for yourself whatever is causing dysfunction. Nonetheless, as a computer technician who runs his own business troubleshooting, repairing, rebuilding, and optimizing computers... I can probably guide you in the right direction. However, without having your PC directly at my fingertips, I can only make general suggestions. In this case, I would surely check out the highly esteemed world-class Reimage software from https://reimagefix.im ..
When people come into our shop and drop off their PC for repair, the first thing we do is run an initial diagnostic. For this function, I use Reimage exclusively. In many cases, I am able to diagnose very quickly what is making their computer run slow, or is giving them the crashes/freezes/errors/grief that brought them to me in the first place. After the diagnostic, in a majority of cases, Reimage is able to remedy All problems and replace any corrupted Windows files. I then proceed to charge a handsome fee for my services that took me all but 30-60 minutes to complete. Obviously sometimes I must work more, but often this is all it takes. It is a very powerful tool that would likely put me and others in my industry out of business if more people knew of it. So don't tell anyone lol, and Good Luck with your PC.

Hey Bob, long time no talk. You need at least 2Gb of Ram. Make sure it matches your laptop though. If you don't want to open up your laptop just take it to Frys or Best Buy and they can check for you. If you have more RAM slots, it's possible that you might have two and are only using one. If you have two, get two RAM chips. So then it'd be 4gb and it'll go a lot faster. There are faster RAM, so it's up to you how fast you'd want it to go. This is also great if you always have more than one window open.

Norton Anti Virus is probably contributing to part of the problem at least. I suggest you delete it (via control panel) and replace it with AVG which is free and probably better. It certainly uses far less resources. Then download CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com and run it. Run Cleaner first, then Issues. Run this program weekly. Then download and run Spybot. Run it weekly or after a bad Internet experience.
