How long has it been since you defragmented?

I don't mean to make you look like an idiot, it's just that a lot of times people forget about that.
 
try checking for viruses if you haven't already; I found 24 on my machine. Also, hope you're not using Win ME....good luck
 
one word: spyware. if you've been getting more pop-ups recentally or even if you haven't, download Lavasoft's Ad-aware. It works great and is Microsoft recommended and is free. can't hurt because spyware is another applicaton memory hog always slowing down the computer. if u got norton systemworks 04 that has spyware removal which tells u where its coming from--even better!
 
By the way you can turn off indexing, its not really all that important, besides it eats away at your memory.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Servies
Look for "Indexing Service" double click it, turn the start up to never and push stop.

You can learn more about turning off and on services at http://www.blackviper.com/.
