First of all scan for spyware and viruses. How much RAM you got?TAke a look at the HDD/free space and see if it needs a cleanup and defrag, do these regularly to keep the system smooth. ALso see whts loading at boot and disable unwanted items from loading use the MS config utility. Try these first and see if it helps.
