You have either too many programs running, not enough RAM, or both. My guide will minimize your RAM use, which should help your problem.
Also, if you're using any version of Windows other than XP, Vista, or 2003, upgrade. Older versions of Windows are especially prone to this sort of thing.
If you only use your computer for Internet and email, you might consider switching to Damn Small Linux:

Your computer will be faster then it ever was, but you won't be able to use MS office and other Windows programs. Get a techie to help you install this and explain the risks.

There's a few things you can do. All these tips apply to Windows XP.
1. Defrag Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter
2. Press and hold the Windows logo key while pressing the pause/break key. In the system properties box click the Advance tab. Under the performance tab click settings. This brings up the performance options menu. On the visual effects tab, adjust those settings. (It's self explanatory once you get there)
3. You can download Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy, scan your hard drive(s).
4. Still slow? try downloading a registry optimizer/cleaner. Here's a free good one: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

try rebooting it because it could just be a problem where too many programs are running that you might not even know about. this happens a lot because things get on your computer from the internet but if it still does it when it reboots you might want to clean up your hard drive
