    Could you, perchance, fill in the system specs for us? It makes helping you much easier.

    Also, is there anything specific running slow (games, a program, etc.), or are you seeing just general sluggishness from everything you run?

    *Do you do your computer housework on a regular basis?
    If you do everything should be ok.
    Eg
    Check Disk.
    Defragment
    Disk Clean Up
    Error Checking
    Temporary Files Removal

    * IE.8 - Safety - Delete Browsing History. -

    *Make sure your windows Update is running.

    *Have you checked in Task Manager/ Processes/ All Users to see what is running there?

    *Do you check in Event Viewer for errors frequently?
    Note any with a red mark in Application & System.

    * Monitor regularly >Perfmon - {Task manager - resource monitor - CPU, Memory etc}

    *Remove any software you have evaluated and decided you don't want to keep.

    Run: SFC /scannow (from a command prompt) - and let it check/repair/verify your system files
