Well, it should be pretty straightforward. There's either something eating 
up a lot of CPU, or something eating up a lot of disk. If neither the CPU 
nor disk is busy and your machine is still slow enough to watch it repaint, 
then there's something you probably need more expertise to analyze. Probably 
looking in the event logs would be one step. (Altho I heard something about 
Win7 doing away with those or something absurd like that.)

If the disk is busy, sort it by read bytes per minute then write bytes per 
minute and see if you can tell what file is busy or what process is doing 
the disk thrashing.

If it's the CPU, sort the list by CPU utilization and see if you recognise 
the name of the process.

If you don't recognise what's going on, post the names of the files and/or 
processes and I'll see if I can guess for you.
