compy is being slow

[Mstenger404]

well my computer is acting up. (thank god for my wii!) well anyway at the startup menu i click my profile but initially it doesn't respond. i repeatedly click it and eventually it gives in. now simply exploring the desktop is a pain. Avast anti-virus finally gives in and lets me run a virus scan. and from the looks of it, starting programs (even the start bar) is annoying, some programs wont even start at all. but the programs actually running isn't. any ideas on how to get this thing going again like it used to will be appreciated, please help.

okay please disregard this post, i figured out the problem myself. It was the mouse's fault, i swapped mouses with a neighboring computer and now everything is as responsive as it should be.
