Trying going to this site.
www.pcpitstop.com It will analyse your computer and tell you what you should check. It is FREE and they tell you step by step how to do it. I use it all the time. You might be running programs in the background that you don't even know your running. They will slow down your computer. Not enough Ram will lock up and slow down your computer. This site checks your hard drive, your internet connection , video, ect..
Also you might want to run a anti-virus program called Avast. It is FREE and better then Norton! Stay away from Norton! Go to this site. www.computerwisetv.com
On there home page click on Free stuff. There is a link to Avast, spybot, zone alarm, and a few others. Another program I suggest you run is Ad-ware. It is also Free. If you run Avast, spybot, and ad-ware these programs will help keep your computer from getting viruses, spyware, ect. that will slow your computer down to a crawl. Hope I was of help to you.

must be the week for slow computers. Defrag, lose about half the stuff on your harddrive (I never fill more than 50%), get a good anti-virus (not free one) like norton and keep it on all the time.

Use Task Manager to establish which process is draining your computer of its resources.
Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on the processes tab.
Do a Google search on the process name to see what it does.

Ali gave the most complete answer -add to that checking you ram. If you do not have at least 1 gig of ram, consider adding some.

run the following:
1. disk cleaner
2. disk defragmenter
3. some sort of anti-virus software (if you don't have one, use the online one at trendmicro.com)
download and run the following:
1. ccleaner
2. ad aware SE
3. spybot s&d
and if that doesn't work, back up your files and reformat

Try telling people what you've got in terms of kit and what you're doing with it and you might get a few more answers.! (My car's making a funny noise, what can I do?)

Is it scanning for auto virus check? If not then re-boot.
