there are a lot of things u can do to speed it up.

1) get more ram (additional 512mb)

2) do some maitenance (my computer, right click c: drive, properties) first tab use disk clean up, second tab use error check and defrag.

3) Get Tune Up Utilities (30day trial, no viruses, spyware, etc) and use the various things it has like the registry cleaner)

4) Delete all internet content like cookies, history, etc (start button, right click IE, internet properties) delete all web browsing content.
