Hi,
Was it like this out of the box or did it slow down over the course of the
past few days?
How much ram is installed?
Did you alter/customize any settings relating to performance?

Hi,
Um yeah, it's bad - it's why you are losing performance. Lock down the other
accounts (reduce their user level to a non-admin) and uninstall all the
crapware.

The OP should also check for malware. The "4 people [who] use this
comp. in my house [who] download music and games and chat stuff" have
very likely also gotten the computer infected.

I thought Vista was immune to that crap.
The OP should check for XP. If not found, load it.

It's immune in that crapware cannot install without the user's specific
consent and knowledge. No drive by installs on web sites or software
automatically executing from protected areas of memory. It cannot possibly
stop a user from intentionally installing something so they can download and
see "nekid piktours of Britt-ney" when they click "ok" to the warning about
knowing what they are installing.

Yeah, Vista can't possibly stop malware, but a free program like AVG or Avast can.

They're most effective at detecting them before they are let loose on a
system. Once embedded, many are difficult to remove regardless of the AV
program in use.
