Hi Arthur,
I suggest you try "Start", "Run" and type "msconfig".
Then select "Startup" and have a look at what programs are running.
It could be that there are programs running that you don't need.
Have a look at "Tips and hints" at the link below.
Then choose "Windows clean-up tips" and check out
Point 6.
