Sorry I thought my attachments went through on the original post. Here is the hijackthis and a deckards system scanner. I couldn't seem to get to attach the first time and thought they did. Any help is most appreciated.

thanks

Other than the things that DrM pointed out, I see nothing that would lead to a frustratingly slow PC. I strongly recommend a visit to the maintenance link provided above by WildWolf. Follow the steps there and you just may be surprised. A bit of regular maintenance goes a long way. Then again, if you have aging hardware, all the tips and tweaks and maintenance in the world won't speed things up beyond the limits of your hardware.
