Over the last two days my computer has slowed to a crawl. When I double-click an icon on my desktop it takes up to 5 minutes before anything happens. Also, once I have a program open, it operates really slow. Another thing is that my disk drives are acting up now. My dvd-rom takes like 2 minutes to eject, and my Sony DRU-500a DVD burner keeps locking up when I try to burn a slideshow to DVD. I don't think I have loaded anything strange lately. The only thing I have done is optimized my hard drive with Norton Systemworks 2003. What could be the problem? Is it time for a fresh install?
