Click Start / Run / msconfig {OK}. Now click the Startup
tab and untick each and every box, then restart the machine.
This will probably make it fast again.

Now repeat the above process but restore one or two
tick marks at the time until you find the culprit that slows
down your machine.

Note that you may have no firewall/virus protection while
you do this, so physically disconnect your Internet link!
