When someone calls and says "my PC is slow", it really is music to my ears...NOT!
PCs get slower over time. The operating system gets bloated and buggy and software, plugins, patches etc. all get more demanding while your computer stands still in the quagmire of technology.
If your PC is slow, there ain't much you can do about it except to turn off the fancy bells and whistles. I strongly recommend going to System Properties (right click My Computer, Properties) and adjusting for "Best Performance".
Otherwise, make sure you have enough disk space and delete your internet cache, including the history.
There ain't much more you can do except get your PC totally rebuilt (fresh install of Windows).
Oh yeah, be more patient too. The biggest problem is likely to be you rather than the computer. Slow the hell down!
