If your computer is running slow, but didnt used to, this is often caused by spyware. Download Spybot Search & Destroy or Lavasoft Adaware (both are free, linked below) and have them do their scan. Remove everything it finds & see if that doesnt improve things a bit.

Another possible solution is to open up the machine & blow out the dustbunnies. A clogged fan or heatsink can really heat things up, which can slow you down.
