Sorry. I meant to say that even with nothing loaded, things are still slow. I do run Zone Alarm Security Suite and Spyware Doctor but they don't scan on startup. They load up pretty quickly, too. In fact, all of my auto start items load up fast. The stupid applications don't launch. I turn on my computer when I get home from work and go have a beer. When I'm finished, my computer's normal.

BTW - I'm running an Athlon XP 3200+ with 1gb of ram, 120gb HDD, and a Geforce 6800GT video card. When my system's running, it's fast enough for me.
