Is it connected to the internet, if so it could be downloading Windows updates in the background - always slows mine down.

If its not that a good clean up might help (defrag etc.). Look under Systems Tools in the Start menu.

If the worst comes to the worst, re-install windows, or use my rather lame tactic- get a new laptop. We now have two spares doing nothing. Oops.

Task Manager - what is the CPU usage when it is going slow? Anything using a lot of memory?

back it up, restore it, then stay away from porn sites.
