A slow running computer is usually caused by malware, too many startup items or a failing hard drive.

You could run chkdsk to see if there are any errors.

Open Computer and right click the hard drive.
Click Properties.
Click Tools.
In Error-checking click Check Now.

If you just want to see the results of the scan and not fix anything uncheck both boxes and click Start.

If you want it to find and repair physical errors on the drive select Scan For and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors.

What is the make and model?
What security do you have?
Did you install any programs before this started happening?
