Why is it there seem to be so many posts about slow computers? With all
the updates I think there are so many things being added that we are not
aware of and a lot of it probably causes conflicts. I know I recently had
a conflict with my ISP's firewall/security program and my HP printer. Got
it resolved thanks to both manufacturers, but the firewall/ security
program really bogged down my computer. It is seven years old and I don't
think it can handle the current updates. In reallity we don't know what
is being added to our computers or who is keeping an eye on us.
A seven year old computer is slow by today's standards. It will have speed
problems with any current applications. As others have said, adding more
memory will help some, but an old processor, motherboard, hard drive, etc.
is going to be limited regardless.
That said, start here:

Read these articles and get a handle on what you, the user, need to do for
normal maintenance to keep your old system running the best it can.
