The usual thing I would check on it disk fragmentation, spyware, viruses,
etc. So run a defrag, run AdAware or SpyBot S&D, etc. Also check what other
tasks are running in background. I can get those probs when my virus checker
decides to do an update, or MS AntiSpyware starts off its check in
background, or even when I leave MSN Messenger open and some goon signs in
i.e. popup windows.
