I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop running Vista Business with 2 GB of memory.
Most of the time when I start almost any program I get a not responding
message. If I wait 10 to 30 seconds the program usually responds but most
programs don't run very fast.

This computer is about 1 year old and it has worked this way since it was
new.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem?
