Try deleting files u don’t need or use. Go 2 your hardrive and delete old stuff u might have installed.

Your performance can also be slowed down because of spyware running in the background. Try downloading a free spyware detector from http://www.download.com and scan your computer. If you find any spyware, delete it.

Oh yes, I forgot another suggestion. It’s usually what people think of first, but have you remembered to defrag your computer recently? If the memory sectors of your hard drive are split up and not next to one another, performance can slow down. Use your PC utilities to defragment your hard drive.
