take a look in add/remove programs to see if you have things there you either
don't need or you did not put there.
how much RAM?
go into the task manager and look for and post the #'s for these items
a. # of processes
b. cpu usage --this % will move up and down but get a general idea
c. provide the two figures of the commit charge

you can look in msconfig > startup and also in Start>all programs>startup
folder
use programs such as C Cleaner to clean up excess files etc
use spyware cleaners, AdAware, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Spywareblaster
run an online antivirus scan from Panda (make sure you have an up to date
resident scanner that scans daily also)
defrag of course and also run chkdsk

My computer seems to be much slower these days, maybe in need of a defrag?
It does seem there are alot of programs running when I do the control alt
delete thing. Maybe I should see what I can stop from running at startup?
thanks,
