My wife's Windows 2000 machine has this weird problem where it just takes forever to load certain programs. I don't understand what it could be. It's like, when you try to load IE or Mozilla for the first time, the computer gets so slow while it's loading the program that you can't do anything else. It takes longer to load the program than it should. Then, it goes back to normal speed again. And if you close the program and re-load it, it loads it at normal speed.

Anyone have any idea what this might be? The stats are: Duron 1000mhz, 256mb RAM, ECS K7S5A motherboard, SP3. So, it should be fast. Programs should just pop right up. Instead they practically lock up the machine the first time you try to load them.
