I had the same problem on a NEW (35 days) Dell Laptop. I
am not an IT guy. I only type what "I" did that worked.
It may or may not be the right thing for you.

I system restored to a previous save point. I followed my
computer's user manual for Using a System Restore. This
is under the START>HELP_AND_SUPPORT>SYSTEM_RESTORE menu.
I then picked a date one day before I installed SP2. It
took several minutes to restore, mainly because my system
was running soo slow!

The good news was after the normal reboot and start-up, a
miracle happened and my laptop is screaming fast once
again.

It worked for me!

Sincerely,
~Greg
