windows has slowed down to a crawl



For the past week, my PC has been running slow. No new hardware and I
have
checked out RAM and the Hard Drive. This is on Windows 2000 with SP4.
I
also ran virus checking with Norton and AVG. I have 512 Meg of data on
my
ASUS board with an Athlon 1.33 Gig cpu. I see no new programs in my
startup
list. Is there any way to pin down this problem?
