Can you give me any ways of speeding up the processor, at the moment it is very diffcult to open up window applications!?

you could overclock your processor (under your BIOS), but I don't recommend doing so unless you're familiar with what you're doing. The simplest thing would be to do buy some extra RAM for your PC at the same frequency as your processor (ie. 256mB SDRAM @ 400mHz). They are relatively cheap, and improve your PC speed considerably, but do make sure it is the right RAM for your computer.
Hope that helped!

Slownes of applications is not always result of "slow" CPU.
You should explain more throughly what kind of system you have, what CPU,
how much memory, what application(s) are slow etc.
Also are you running too many applications same time with too little memory
so that would cause system be slow?
Have you scanned system for spyware, viruses and trojans that can also cause
computer to be slow? Incase not, here's few steps to try out...
Here's 5 steps that EVERY computer owner should do (or have, for last two
steps) if they want to make sure their system is not infested with spyware,
trojans and viruses... And even these steps are not 100% perfect.
1. first download download spybot seek & destroy from
http://security.kolla.de
install it, UPDATE it, and RUN it...
2. second, AdAware from www.lavasoft.de install it, UPDATE it, RUN
it...
--- sofar you should have quite spyware free system not always 100% free
though ---
3. third, download spywareblaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html install it, UPDATE it
and RUN it...
--- after this you should have system that's protected from some spyware
stuff, not ALL though ---
4. get yourself virus killer if you do not have... www.grisoft.com has free
virus killer it you bother dig up more their site to download free version,
install, UPDATE and run it...
--- after this your system should be protected from most viruses ---
5. get yourself FIREWALL if you do not have it... Usually free firewall like
ZoneAlarm (www.zonelabs.com) will do just fine...
--- and after this step, you should beable to see when something in your
system tries to connect outside from your system etc ---
1st and 2nd steps are both good programs, but I never trust only one of them
myself because I am bit too paranoid with my network security. So I run
both.. both are good, but nothing is perfect so better be sure...
spywareblaster "protects" your system from spyware etc. so it's also good
idea to run it also...
Virus killer and firewall are usually VERY important part, If you have winXP
you might have it's inbuilt firewall on, that helps some, but it does not
show outbound connections that are sometimes very good to "notice"
and remember to UPDATE/RUN those programs regularly just to stay safe
side on things...
