Adding another Gb of RAM would do wonders. 1 Gb is not enough. Also look at how many programs you have running at startup, the less you have the faster your computer will startup and the more RAM and processor you will have available for the programs you are actually using.



Open msconfig and go to the startup tab, uncheck things you don't need automatically starting and running on your computer.



Just "cleaning" doesn't really do much for performance...all your doing is getting rid of temp files, clearing history, and if you are cleaning the registry you aren't doing anything that's going to make difference.

Just a guess. You have too little RAM. Add more. You need at least 2GB better 4GB. You might need to reformat and reload the operating system if that doesn't help.
