Sounds like your computer just needs a general tune up.

Defragment your hard drive - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314848
Run adware and virus scans
Adware - http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007/3000-8022_4-10766151.html?tag=lst-1
Virus - http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10761481.html?tag=lst-3
And run CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/

See if that helps anything.

You're not really giving me much to work with here, I don't really know what's going wrong, so it's hard to help. Update to the latest drivers?
