Sounds to me like you might have to many programs starting up with your system. How many little icons do you have down by the time? If it there are more than 5 or 6 you probably just have to many things running in the background. I found an awesome website I think you could get alot of help by reading through there Step by Step walkthrough on how to clear the unwanted items from the startup group. Go to there Computers page and click on the link that says, " What's starting up with your system?" This is a great walkthrough!

Also if you have alot of unwanted or old programs you never use it is a good idea to go into the Control Panel. And then go into Add/Remove Programs and, only remove the programs that you know you are not using. That should free up alot of extra Hard drive space.

Tell me how it goes,
