    First of all, clean the startup. Do you have lot of icons in the taskbar?

    open Start click on run, type msconfig, and remove the items which you do not want. Next download Ccleaner and wipe out everything unwanted.

    Then download defrag (or a defragmenter) and -

    You're done.

    Run an antivirus to make sure the computer is clean. Do the same with an antispyware program.

    Open your web browser, and delete all temporary files and such.

    Make sure you have enough hard drive space (keep a few gigabytes free).

    Make sure you're not loading too many programs at startup, as this slows things down and also uses up memory for no real reason.
