Please, post some computer info:
- processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo key, hit Pause/Break key)
- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")
- security programs in use (antivirus, firewall)

I am running CA Security Center and run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and use Firefox browser with No-Scripts add-on
It literally takes over 3 MINUTES to open, for example, My Computer to check the hard drive free space, over a minute to bring up the options when I right click the C: drive, 30 seconds for the mouse to highlight properties, and another minute to show the capacity - which is 23.5 used 46.2 free 69.8 total

Activate Task Manager with Ctrl, Alt, Del and click the performance tab. Look on the graphs and bottom right for mem usuage, open My Computer and watch the task manager as you right click on Properties for the hard drive to see if the cpu and mem usuage has gone OTT.
In Task Manager click the Processes tab and then click the Mem sub tab and see what is using the high amounts of memory if anything. Do the same with the CPU sub tab

It may be the webcam software, or it maybe a USB port problem, how many USB devices are connected please.
