I have a very odd issue and this happens especially at startup. I open up a program and it will run disgustingly slow but if I open another one it instantly frees up and runs smoothly. Then the next program that I opened up runs slow and so forth. It only started doing this recently and I have checked for virii, spyware, and defrag regularly. I also have about 8 gigs of system ram so this shouldn't happen.

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all
IMPORTANT! In case of laptop, make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

Same problem?

Not that easy.....hahaha

Those settings are only for testing purposes. You can't run your computer in this state....

You have to go back to "msconfig" and start enabling services and startups, BUT only one-by-one, restarting computer EACH time, until you'll find the culprit.
