What are the first steps for diagnosing a slow machine?

Can anyone help, my laptop has started running very slow! things take forever to open, especially outlook and internet explorer. however its generally slow all around. i have run many spyware and malware scans and all were clean. i have tried disabling certain startup software, but still isnt helping that much!

Any thoughts, and help would be killer!

Answer 1

The question is vague, and can have multiple reasons for the slow response.

My first thought, in the past I have some bad experiences with Windows 7, after installing SP1 on some machines (not all) everything feels "slow", could this be happening to you ?

In that case, the only solution I can come up until now is reinstall the O.S.
