If you decide to get a new laptop I would get a Mac because before I had a Mac I had an Acer laptop with windows vista on it and it started to go slow like yours. I used this software called Turbo Your PC and It worked better than I thought. As for installing memory into your laptop, its fairly straight forward, most DDR2/DDR3 RAM just clip in. It was quite easy to install in my Mac anyway. Hi,

Actually my laptop is loading fast now. A month or so ago I changed Antivirus programs (my Internet provider was changing to it's own inhouse antivirus program (which worked slower than the Norton Antivirus that they had provided free for last two years or so), and I ended up switching to a free antivirus program - Avast - and tada ... my laptop boots up fast and the programs run faster. So it was Norton Antivirus slowing things down all along. Thanks for the reply. Actually my laptop is loading fast now.

To do this, place your cursor over the icons in the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen. If you rarely use any of these programs, right-click and disable them. To take more control over what programs load when you boot up, download System Suite 7 Professional ($59.95), which includes, among 60 powerful tools, a startup manager and optimizer.

Also you should try some registry cleaning tools before buying more memory. I've recently upgraded from 1 to 3gb of memory and the difference was barely noticable.
