My PC is only 4 weeks old and was running fine until last night. I didn't install anything and I am running AVG anti-virus as well as A-squared

Some of my programs take up to 5 minutes to finally open. Some don't start at all. Some start up and then freeze. I then have to open the task manager to shut them down and then I thought, I'll try rebooting the computer. The first time it froze during shut down so I had to do a hard shut down. Then when I finally went to shut it down
for the night ... it took approximately 15 minutes to finally shut down.

HELP PLEASE! It's bad enough I couldn't get my XP disk to let me install XP on this machine ... now that I'm getting used to Vista it wants to get stupid.

Thanks in advance as you great people ALWAYS help!
