What os and update level?
What has changed lately?
Can you use software ok except for this problem? how is web browsing?
assumptions: os is xp with latest sp's and patches
nothing has changed lately:
other apps don't work so well
web browsing is slow
given that:
I would boot in safe mode (with networking) and if it works ok then, I'd turn off system restore and then scan the system with updated antivirus and antimalware products.
