Oh, and also look at how much memory is used up. I don't know about Win7, 
but on Vista, the "resource monitor" is pretty good for naive analysis of 
performance problems.

Does Win7 have the whole "welcome center" bit with the "system performance" 
measurement? That might point out where the problems are too. Maybe if your 
graphics card doesn't support 3D graphics and you're still telling the 
system to do that anyway, it could be a problem. Try switching the theme to 
an older theme (Areo Basic or Classic or something) and see if it's still 
slow. If not, you've found the problem.

And again, this is all based on Vista info. I don't know if the same things 
are in the same places on Win7.
