Many things can contribute to this, we don't know what your system
specs are or what software is installed, but consider the following

1. virus's/malware infecting the system
2. everything and the kitchen sink loading at startup
3. not enough RAM [EG only 256MB]
4.not enough RAM [EG only 256MB]

Start with No1, make sure you are 100% clean, then No2, run msconfig and
appraise what is actually loading at startup, remove what isn't
absolutely essential.

I agree with all of the above. But also remember to check you hard
drive. It
may need to be defragged. Also while your in there, delete all the
temporary files
and see that you have at least 10-20 % free hard drive space.
Roberto's comment
about having enough RAM, also applies to having enough free hard drive
space.

Could it be that you're running Windoze XP? That certainly could explain
what you're experiencing as that is very typical for users of this
"operating system". Most users report a slowing down after grinding away on
a XP box for a period of time. Some of this can be explained by the fact
that XP is so easily compromised by malware that can hijack the system and
suck up resources while it works to spew out spam across the Net or spread
malware to other systems. Others will say their systems are "clean" yet
also display this slowdown. It seems that as more and more stuff is added
to Windoze's registry the "operating system" just slows down. Ultimately
the only "fix" is to reinstall from scratch and start fresh and enjoy the
speed that offers until one once again goes through this cycle. It
certainly leads me to wonder what we'll be hearing from Vista users after
they've been running that "operating system" for a period of time.
Especially in view of its far more demanding hardware/resource
requirements. My one XP box is almost unuseable now because it is so slow,
yet it is reported to be "clean" of all malware. My Linux boxes on the
other hand remain as responsive today as they were when the operating
system was first installed. Even on boxes with lesser hardware and even
though they run far more services and processes than my XP box.
Fortunately, I have little need to use that XP box, so I can live with this
Windoze eXPerience. :-)
