Windows XP slow response time

BOB: If you are like me you want to rush thru
everything. But our attitude has deleterious effects on
the system. When you don't let a site load completely it
starts to slow response on the overall system. So,logoff
and grab another cup of coffee. If you can,wait 15-20
minutes while doing angry pushups over a picture of Bill.
Make sure you have a clean system(temp files,recycle bin
clean,scandisk.diskclean,and defrag).Stop all but virus
scan on startup. Take out the progs you don't really use.
Right click on the taskber and open Taskmanager to see
what is really running in the background. Before you know
it, you'll be BOB on that Harley going to NewOrleans and
call yourself EASY RIDER. Good Luck

When I boot up in the morning everything works just
fine. About an hour after using applications such as
outlook, Goldmine, word and excel and accessing network
shares the system bogs down to a crawl. This happens on
a laptop and on a desktop computer. Both have 512M of
ram. Anybody know why this happens?
