  could be spyware running on your machine. Either that or you installed a ton of apps which always slows down computers.

  Download a trial version of a registry optimizier, or try disk defragment, or you can use a flash drive via ReadyBoost on Vista to make your RAM higher.

  Is there enough memory? 2GB runs Vista best.

  Defragment the hard drive, turn off all those unnecessary services, and check the Process manager to see if there’s any suspicious programs running.
